Making Tongs DVD shows the blacksmith making three different styles of tong joints with three different tong heads. First we see the Twisted Joint Scrolling Head tong then the Traditional Joint Wolf-jaw tong and finally the Champion Joint Bolt Head tong. Epps also shows a variety of other specialty tongs he has made and discusses the importance of a blacksmith being able to make his own tools. Tips such as how to quench moving parts will help the student blacksmith avoid frustrating mistakes in his own shop. The viewer sees the artist using a power hammer in this video to draw out tool handles as well.
