In this video I show how you can save money by making your own crucible lifting tongs at home. This is a weld free tutorial and thus accessible to most.

From this video you will see what I used for my tongs and how to easily make your own.

Crucible lifting tongs are super important safety devices for any foundry working with molten metal. They can be quite expensive however. But that is not a problem if you build your own. The only tools you will need are a drill with carbide drill bits, a cutting device (could be an angle grinder or a handsaw or something else), and a forge.
