Ok,

What should I be looking for in a pair of tongs for my heat treating oven?

I just getting setup and I have no idea!!!

Thanks in advance,

Bob Sigmon

Bob, I should have shown you mine while you were in my shop last week. I got them from Centaur Forge; they are about 14-16" long with a duck-billed end. They work fine.

Don,

I should have thought to ask, they were sitting right there.

By the way, where did you get your sheets of stainless for the rack and bottom of the oven?

I'm sure I'll have more questions, later. I just can't think of any more right now.

Thanks,

Bob Sigmon

Thanks again for having me over to your shop. It really helped me in deciding how to start setting up my shop. (Which I'm sure that I'll change as soon as I do get it set up)

They were given to me by another knifemaker- 14 ga. 306 stainless, I believe. If you have a means of cutting it up, I have a vent hood from a restaurant in my garage... probably need a sawzall to pull it off.

Sawzalls, nibblers, hand shears and benders, etc.

I have those tools! I've been doing construction on the side to 20 years or so. I'd be happy come over and take it down, cut it up etc. Just let me know and I'll set up a time with you.

If you ever need a hand with construction or electricity....give me a holler. Those things I have practice at.

Thanks,

Bob Sigmon

Evenings, Saturdays, Sunday afternoons- let me know!

Sounds good - I'll give you a call one evening and we can set something up.

Thanks again, Don

Mike, it's great. Thanks again!
