16/ So my thought is that you could make a just-barely-passable set of tongs using nothing but a boulder (as an anvil), a rock-and-stick hammer, and maybe a wet stick or two. With that crappy pair, a better pair. And so on.

18/ Heck, you could maybe even use brass tongs on iron. For that matter, iron has such a low thermal conductivity, that you can forge iron without tongs - one end in the fire, other end cool enough to grasp by hand.
