This class continues where Rudiments of Blacksmithing II left off. You'll finally have some idea of how to manage a forge-fire, and get to practice doing so. While doing so, you'll produce matching scrolls and generally work on having more control over your work, and learn still more basic techniques, including:
scrollwork collaring forging pipe |
threading (taps and dies) sheet metal work bending matching curves |
