A good course this weekend showing how to make a variety of scroll ends, scarfing and forge welding them together to produce a branch welded scroll, making a scroll jig and producing a scroll with it.

Then on Monday, a birthday treat for a ten year old and his Dad, and what he made, a wine glass holder for his Mum, and a Toasting Fork

First time on an anvil, and with a bit of guidance, the only help on the fork was splitting and drawing the tines, but he formed them to shape, The boy done good! I think he's caught the blacksmith bug!

First picture is a Tapered Ribbon End scroll and a Split End scroll, NOT a Tapered Bevel scroll as stated on picture

The 3 scrolls welded together are a Tightly Rolled Parallel Ribbon End, a Tapered Ribbon End, and a Rounded Corner Fishtail
Scroll

Then a Bevel End, and a Leaf End (sometimes called a Blow Over Leaf end)

A Scrolling Jig and a Fishtail end scroll pulled on it to prove it.

Wine Glass Holder, and the Toasting Fork the lad made, then a close up of it.

Wrong scroll description, and clarification of other types

The boy done good for sure.:D
