I Forge Iron

First leafs I forged with my new built tongs


Recommended Posts

I'm very new to this wonderful hobby. My first project was to build a set of tongs. Then I built a chisel to build a leaf. I built 2 as practice. Just wanted to show everyone my leafs. I'm proud of them also a pic of an old sprocket I cut up and assembled into a makeshift anvil. It's crude but pretty cool looking in person.

NICE leaf Busta! You even turned a respectable snub end scroll for a finial!

Oh you have De makins of one heck of a smith. 

You'll be so much happier finding a better anvil. Check out the improvised anvil threads for ideas.

Terrific start!!! Completely respectable first tongs, and the leaf is great. You clearly have a good eye for shape and proportion, and I look forward to seeing what happens when your skill catches up with your talent.
