Making Better Crucible Tongs for Metal Casting: Lifting and Pouring, and 2 sizes of crucibles

FINALLY I made something new for metal casting. Remember those 2 new crucibles I got? Well, i didn't feel like pulling them out of the furnace with my hands, so I built these new tongs. Since i'm lazy, however, I didn't feel like making separate lifting and pouring tongs. I wanted 2. I'm still bitter I needed to make it with moving parts, but i'll get over that soon enough. Want to learn sand casting using your 3D printer? I can teach you!: https://paulsmakeracademy.mykajabi.co... These are easy lift and easy pour, thanks to some clever (read: Stolen from others' tongs) design features. Watch and try to guess where a bit of welding slag falls and burns a hole in the top of my shoe. I edited out me jumping, but it's there.
