ChrisB Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Managed to get out in the shop and do some forging. I have this thing lately for wanting to making a leaf. It hasn't been going well so I went back to basics and got some modeling clay and practiced for about 45 min. The next leaf turned out much better. I think my problem how is hitting the leaf square with the hammer. I did one on the horn and it spread much better. Ah practice makes perfect I suppose.

Gary Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Chris, check the Aussie Leaf Memorial thread. There's a tutorial on their web page on making a leaf. It was a new way to me. Good Luckhttp://www.treeproject.abavic.org.au/pdf-articles/How-to-Forge-a-Gum-Leaf.pdf Edited March 9, 2009 by Gary Added Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
