Here’s a cool tip that just occurred. Smith’s are often faced with creating scrolls, although basic, if the scroll, in this case is on an 8’ piece of stock, swinging the stock around the form can be a real challenge, even in a big shop. I’ve always made scrolls in a horizontal plane, running out of room to swing a long bar…… so how about doing it vertical??? YES!!! So I adapted my scroll form to rotate, leaving gravity to manage the stock and allowing nearly a full rotation of this 19” scroll length in one heat. Enjoy!!
