When I'm in the forge I'm often working two or three items at a time requiring multiple tongs so I end up tong juggling. I have a tong rack on the side of the forge but it presents the hot end of the tong when you go to pick it up. This is the magnetic tong rack I made a couple days ago for the tongs while they are in use. It allows me to grab the tongs by the reins easily. It uses three magnetic tool holders from harbor freight bolted onto a frame I made from some scrap metal my brother-in-law was throwing away.

I got tired of digging through the large ammo box I had stored my angle grinder discs in so I built some holders out of wire and some scrap wood I chose to do this rather than putting up pegs so I don't have to take all the other discs off the peg just to get to the one on the bottom.
