Hi,

 

I know, this topic has been covered and documented by many smiths before. I hope my video below can be inspirational for some of you.

 

 

Well, Tubbe, you did it again! Very good video and very educational, too. 

 

While watching it sometimes I had some disbelief - but there was so clear work and so well constructed process that doubts never lasted more than 2-3 sec.  :)

And the final product is awesome.

 

Thank you for sharing your method. And the next working spot marked on the anvil is also a nice idea - I am definitely gonna try that to help my dancing around the anvil.

 

Thanks for inspiration!!

Thanks Tubbe - always inspirational watching you work. I like the veining technique you used. Would like a good look at the hammer. I do my veining under the hold down with a chisel. Looks OK but I will try your method too.
And I have never tried doing leaves with anything larger than 12mm stock, so that's something else to try. Great stuff. I learn so much from your videos.

As mentioned your videos are always great. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this.

Oh geeze, I was almost late to work this morning because I stopped everything to watch this video!    Very well done, I will definitely make use of some of those techniques.  Thanks!

Nicely done.
I like the hardy you have for veining, is that just a piece of round stock folded over and welded?

I have never seen that before, I always use the fold and unfold method for the center vein.

Thanks!

I waited til I was at work... One of the rare occasions my job will actually permit this. Great video. Notes taken.

Greetings Taubbe,

 

Very professional video...   Your technique is smooth and very informative..  We all have our own spin on leaves and it is refreshing to see your method.   Thanx for posting ..

 

 

Forge on and make beautiful things

I much enjoyed seeing your technique and the video editing is much appreciated. Thank you for doing this and posting it.

Hi, and thanks!

 

ausfire, the veining texture is done with an ordinary cross pein that is quite thin and rounded. Nothing fancy.

 

JimsShip, yes the hardy tool is just a folded up round bar. Picked up that somewhere, can't remember...
