Title: Bamboo Toast Tongs
Post by: DWSudekum on March 31, 2011, 09:33:52 pm

Ever burned your fingers getting the toast or an English muffin out of the toaster?  I have many times so I constructed from a piece of thin bamboo scrap that I had left over from cutting up one of the cutting boards.
The tongs are 3/8 in wide by 10 in long.

Cool idea. Now make a set a little wider and you will have beginner chop sticks. ;D
