Blacksmithing : Hand Forging Penannular Brooch / Fibula
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 кві 2023
- I am sharing the process of hand forging Medieval Times inspired Penannular Brooch / Viking Fibula / Medieval Cloak Pin / Celtic Brooch, using traditional methods of blacksmithing, side draft forge and stone coal.
A piece of metal I used is a round bar 6,5 mm. I reforged it to a square bar 5,5mm x 5,5mm, so if you have similar square bar available - feel free to skip the squaring part! This little project consists of forging two pieces: horse shoe shape brooch or fibula or sakta as we call it here in Latvia and a needle. For forging the needle I used the same material.
Blacksmithing techniques: drawing, twisting, scrolling, shaping the circle, hot cutting.
The tools are: anvil, rounding hammer, blacksmith's tongs, pliers, blacksmith's vise, wire brush, rasp for finishing. No power hammer needed for this project.
Hope that this video could be helpful for blacksmith enthusiasts as well as for craft loving community or just any person interested in how metal craft is made! If you are inspired to forge such type of brooch, please let us know about your results!

We hope you will find out something new about blacksmithing and enjoy your visit to our small countryside workshop!
It is great to hear that our videos seem to have calming and relaxing effect! =) We really like the original sounds of our smithy, we use a microphone RØDE for sound recording. So all the sounds in our videos are recorded in our workshop and around it. Relaxing sounds and calming yet organized atmosphere are inevitable parts of what we hope our videos should feel like.

I got into forging this year - the forge I work in is aprox 200 years old - and I am producing Brooches, Bottle openers and nails for Training. So far my brooches have not all been good for using but I think it'll evolve fast. I like how you compose your shots and how you present the forging process.
Great to have such an atmospheric 200 years old forge to work in, must be very inspiring! Small projects are always good to gain the fundamental skills! Thank you your kind words! Cool to hear that you caught our love and passion to blacksmithing aesthetics from our shots! Have fun with your metal craft projects! Greetings from Sun Hills!
good work
Thank you! Greetings from Sun Hills!
Great work ! They were such clean forgings even before the brush. Glad to see someone working the steel at a lower than ""surface of the sun" hot. You can see the scale just pop off and not reform.. The camera work is fantastic! Love the angles and clarity. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It is quite challenging to film hot metal, the lighting is always changing and you have to adapt constantly. Happy that you noticed! It is also more complicated to combine heating metal and filming =) so sometimes you can get ""surface of the sun" because of it, too =) Greetings from Sun Hills!
Very nice job. This project turned out very unique and very beautiful design. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend forge on God bless.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Hope to make more videos! Greetings from Sun Hills!
Your videos always are in so good quality! I liked the moment when choosing your instrument you browsed your weapons. :D I liked slow motion moment. ;) Zooming in the facial expression - it made me smile. :D Quality inspector. :D I really like that you showed the application of the product at the end. Everything is so beautifully, finely crafted. Lovely filmed details.
