Thanks mate! Aye i' ve been at it a while. Nice that people appreciate what i make. Thank you!

Thanks mate! Shortage of thrift stores here about. However the scrap bins at work are full to overflowing. So a couple of dinner breaks and hey presto a custom set of tongs at zero cost.(y)

Thanks mate! Ive always made what i can its satisfying it increases your skills and saves money. and nine times out of ten its better than you can buy because you can tailor it to your application.

They are about a foot long. I fancy they would be a bit flimsy for hauling logs about. I made these for my open coal fire. They are just the job for arranging the coals. They would be good for turning large steaks on the grill...........I might make another set for just that.......Cheers(y)

Oh aye. It takes an hour every morning to get steam up.:giggle:(y)

Made these today out of some bits out of the scrap. No more burned fingers managing the fire now

Thanks mate, appreciated.
