Iron Falcon 72 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Do you have a photos or description of the new forge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Masuk Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I like them definately much better than the typical "ace of spades" leaves that most people continually make these actually look orginal and the ripples show the nature of metal very clearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 that sounds very fast to me - but i have tiny experience with power hammer work - how many leaves are in the forge at once ? id like to see pic of forge too.. the leaves look fantastic they look soft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hi Uri, always a pleasure to see your work Did you use pliers to 'push and pull' (don't know the rigth term, I'm French) the sides of the leaves or is it done by hammering only ? I'd also love to see a picture of your new forge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofi Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 ALL the leaves are forged ONLY with the air hammer!!!!!!!!!!!! one heat to forge and preper the basic form and the second to forge the leaf. Some times a leaf is forged in one heat only. for the forging process one need two type of dies 1 combination dies to preper the basic form 2 crown dies to forge the leaf between those two one can forge all this type of natural organic forms I keep all the time 4-5 pieces of steel in the gas forge. I preper now a set of pics about the gas forge ,the most interesting thing is the burner IF finish to day I ''ll submit the pics Hofi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DClaville Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 very nice looking leaves as all of your work master Hofi. i am wondering the 1st. tool/die you use "1 combination dies to preper the basic form" is it the standard available from anyang, comi flat and draw dies? or the combi wide flat and slim flat die (I believe it maybe is designed by your self)? and do you have photos of em ?
