I'd been doing these in a box-joint (pass through) hinge but had really good results today using an offset 1/2 face type thing. 3/4 square x 6" blank

Forgot to say, it's your 1045~ Some time I case harden the tips if I'm worried about it.

I get in a rut when I finally get something figured out. I've been making a pair a day lately as a partial warm-up and excersise.

They clean up purdy.
One thing I learned from a pair I had made from Bob Patrick in Arkansas- if you bow the tips ever so slightly they remain parallel as you open the tong. Seems a minor detail but does help
