Hey all,
Need some tongs and planning to try out the quick tongs from Ken's Iron.
https://kensironstore.com/collections/quick-tongs
My forge welding skills aren't that great yet and drawing down reins on heavy tong stock is a lot of work so I figure this could be a good workaround. Also significantly cheaper than a "real" set of tongs.
I got in touch with them about shipping charges and they said up to 16 tongs can fit in a flat rate box for $21.35 shipping so I figured I'd check if anyone else wants to pick some up to save on shipping charges. I can order and then you could reimburse when you want to come grab the tong blanks.
I'm in Portland but usually come out to the mentoring center events so could meet up there.
Probably will order some time next week.

Wow that's a really cool idea! You get to do SOME forging on them, but have some functional tongs too! (I made my first set of tongs from rebar the other day, and it was clear to me I have a ways to go)
I'd be interested in some.
Quick Railroad Spike Tongs - Qty. 1
Best-Selling Quick Tongs Bundle Set - Qty. 1
That would be 5 tongs, which might be on the greedy side, let me know, and I can narrow it down to 1-2 tongs if that's easier.
I can either meet you somewhere when you get them, or meet you in Longview at the mentoring center October 22nd, whichever works best for you.
Thanks,
Jack Thompson

That works Jack. I was planning on grabbing the bundle as well as a couple extra pairs of bolt tong.
If anyone else wants in there'a space for another 5-6 tongs in the box or shipping is free on orders over $200.

Heck, that's not much more spendy than a simple hunk of mild steel from the hardware store, and the fuel to get said chunk halfway shaped. I could find a use for five or six, if you are close to that $200 mark and can get the free shipping.

Cart is sitting @ $123.50 so we'd need about 7 more to get free shipping. Reg shipping split three ways would be less than $8 though.

Ok, when do you need funds by? I'll take a few of these blanks for sure.

Wow that's fast!
I'll just meet up at the Mentoring event on the 22nd. Heading over to Idaho for some hunting for the next week.
If my math is right, I'll be bringing you $55.50 for the tongs?
