Would you believe it, i am sitting here waiting for a third speed controller to be delivered. Hopefully the one coming today will do what it is supposed to do, I cant fault the suppliers one bit, they couldnt be more helpful. If all goes well i hope to turn these two pieces of 16mm mild steel bar into flat bit tongs.

Sorry this is on hold. Game dealer just rang me, offering £2 each for rabbits, must dash :lol:

Ok piece of 16mm bar in the fire, shape the nose of the tongs. Repeat the shape on the second bar, put the two together, drill and rivet, bingo set of tongs.

My intention was not to bore you with 1st heat, 2nd heat, drawing out and all that jargon, but if you are interested i can give you a good link.
