Making Crucible Lifting Tongs for lifting 2000° crucibles of molten metal.
In this video I will demonstrate how I made a new set of lifting tongs for my Salamander Super A10 Crucibles ( 8“ x 6.5“ top x 4.5“ bottom )
They’re easy to make and only require a few pieces of mild steel and a bolt. I used my milling machine a lathe and a TIG welder but you can just use a hacksaw some files and an inexpensive MIG welder to accomplish the same thing.
I used:
2x 1/2“ x 3’ round bar
2x 3/16“ x 3/4“ x 3’ flat bar
1x 3/16“ 1 1/2“ x 1’ flat bar
1x 3/8 16 - 1“ stainless bolt and appropriate washers / nut. ( any bolt will work )
The hinge is made of two 5 1/4“ pieces. The bars that reach down to the crucible are 8 1/2“ long. The pieces that wrap around the crucible are 8“ (top) and 7“ (bottom). The handles are 27“ long with a bend at 13“.
These dimensions are are very flexible and can be adapted to suit your needs.
