I like yours better than the ones I've made! I've been designing texturing dies for my Coal 12-ton to impress bark patterns on round stock, and I think this project would be one where the bark pattern would set it above the competition. It would certainly fit with the leaf, and any excuse to make a new tool is good enough for me. Thanks!
I've done something very similar in the past. Taking rounds dog and either slit chiseled or abrasive wheel cut much like you would for making a roasting Fork
Just wondering why in a "basic blacksmithing video" you used a press, when you could've just drawn it out? I mean no disrespect, but as an intermediate smith I enjoyed your video, but I had watched it earlier in my career and was disheartened by the press because, "I don't have one of those...guess I can't do this project" and I stopped watching it. Keep up the good work!
Negative ghost rider watch any good Smith a gentle taparoo allows time to rotate and positron without losing rhythm. To each their own but it works for me.
@@wrotironexactly this. Sometimes the adjustments I make take longer than what the hammer wants to do. For me it's easier to keep a good working rhythm than to pause longer to stop tapping the anvil.
At the initial semesters of engineering, we learnt forging. And the experience was pure magic.
Thanks for inspiring
Very nice project thanks for sharing
Lovely job Thanks for the video
Thank you

Thank you, I've made a set that I've used to make fire pokers with a branch design. Worked really well and made a beautiful piece.
That's a very nice project.
Thanks!
Beautiful work, very artistic.
Thank you!
Very nice!
Thank you so much
Came out really good, beautiful work! What would be considered a "food safe" wax?
beeswax would bee good
Looks nice. On some of the steps the labels are blocking what you’re doing.
Great video. What wax are you using for food safe usage?
Thank you!, I is a combination of beeswax and canola oil.
@@wrotiron awesome, thanks for the quick reply!
Клас хорошая робота
I have a question for you can you take half inch round and cut it in half and make skewers

A lot of wasted anvil tapping

@@wrotiron positron every blow?
@@singlendedshow us how you do it.
Your dopey
Sorry can't deal with the anvil taps. Waste of motion when all you are doing is a simple taper
Works for me
Watch videos of any number of smiths. We all do it. It's a rythim and timing thing for myself, I reposition, etc. Besides I'm enjoying the process.

@@wrotironI probably wouldn't bother with these sad lost trolls, they've nothing better to do than seek attention.
