  1. So, I am new to iforgeiron and I’ve only been blacksmithing for a couple of months. I’ve been working a lot on tapers and drawing out, and in the last couple of weeks have tried about 10 or so leaves. The problem I am having, without fail, is that the stem seems to twist and crack right at the base of the leaf when I start to flatten it out.....almost every time. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be causing this? Thanks!!
  2. Hello from the great white north! Ive only been forging for about 3 months, but I am an apprentice Ironworker/ Welder with IW local 721 in Toronto, so I get to work with steel all day everyday! I'm looking forward to gaining some insight and knowledge from all of you experienced blacksmiths... and maybe hearing the odd joke or two. Thanks for letting me join your merry ranks! Take care out there! Matt
