well it took 2 years but I finally am getting ahold of the Graham Forge from Atlus and can use tongs to hold a canister which will let me get some downward compression on larger canisters and I am wondering what style tong will be the best to hold a canister as at this time the only pair of tongs I use is my Picard Wolf's Jaw tongs.
PS: up till now when i made a canister i just welded on a holding stick to the canister.
