Nice to see you modifying your tongs to fit the stock. Lots of us don't do that, but it really helps. Watching this, I remembered the old carpenter's motto, "measure twice, cut once."

[@JPsBladeworks]

Yea it helps to be able to modify them. I just need to learn to forge my own because that is an invaluable skill in this type of work.

[@Duckrabbit_Forging]

Making hooks is hard and making them all the same and look good is even harder!
Overall a very good first go at it!

[@JPsBladeworks]

Thanks. I feel i need to use a smaller hammer for this to have more control since i have no blacksmithing skills

[@user-ir9op1vj9m]

As an aspiring engineer I think you cold have saved some box tube if you modified some of the hooks to have a dip in the other direction so you could mount them 180 degrees. This might be a little harder to make but, more material and space efficient. I my opinion some locking nuts would hold those much more securely considering how easily that one came off.

[@JPsBladeworks]

I tacked it back up. If they ever do fall off ill probably go that route. Im just curious how long it will last. I did do a pretty crappy job 🤣
