  • Watch me forge a scroll pendant!
    I stumbled upon a facebook post by Reinis Pētersōns, a couple of week ago where he showed something very similar. It was so nice I decided to give it a try myself.
    Check him out here:

      It's still basic forging, but you need to get everything symmetrical and equal in size, and that takes time and patience :)

      @@torbjornahman This is exactly what my dad tought me. If you find a problem too complicated to solve "at one go", divide it into smaller steps untill each step will be simple enough to make it without too much effort. The most difficult part of this process (in any craft) is to learn how to divide a problem. And this is something you learn from others, on your own mistakes and with time 😊 And with time (a lot of it usually), you become a master of your craft.
      Thank you for sharing your beautiful craft!

    In 1960, one of the first things I ever knitted (maybe the first, I don't remember for sure as I was only 4) was a scarf for my father for Christmas. He died a year ago at age 97 and that scarf was still in his closet. The ultimately knitworthy recipient. I made him many sweaters, socks and stockings over the years but the one project he held onto until the end was that first one.
    A few years later, one of his first woodworking projects was to make me a bookcase. I can't imagine it anywhere but right next to my reading/crafting/computer chair, holding my current reference books, my current reading books and my current handwork projects. Somehow it is always just the right size and I will never let it go.

    your skill never ceases to amaze us, and i was sitting on the edge of my seat when you were forging the tips, and then when your started to make the scrolls, control of the heat was so masterful, this whole process, shows how efficient forging is with no wasted material
    it is also obvious from many of the comments, many people are inspired by your generosity in sharing these videos and recording what is required to keep these traditions going.... a job well done
    it was a great gift for your daughter, and seeing both your radiant smiles, brought a few tears to my eyes.
    I hope you and your family have a great and safe Christmas

On voit que l'exécution de ce travail a été préparée méticuleusement en amont : elle est, de ce fait, très plaisante à voir par le dosage exact de chaque geste ! La consigne dans "Le Cahier du Forgeron" est vraiment une bonne idée qui s'inscrit dans la volonté ancestrale de transmission qui a toujours été l'apanage de la véritable maîtrise ! Le don final, qui en fait un objet utile, parachève l'œuvre. ⚒️
