ABANA National Curriculum 1.7 - Forged Leaf

I don't forge a ton of leaves so you can certainly find better examples out there but they are fun to make and a good way to practice moving steel where you want it to go.
Making these out of 1/4 square stock is a good option to make small fobs for key chains.
1.7 - FORGE LEAVES - necking-in and spreading
1.7.1 Student should understand how to ‘neck-in’ away from the end of a bar and
spread material using a hand hammer.
1.7.2 The effects of using the cross peen, ball peen and the flat face of the hammer for
spreading should be understood by the student

..Good job sir. i liked how you started the point on the horn....

[@WatersIronworks]

Thanks. I've been using that technique more and more lately. It works really well and I think is probably faster than the far edge of the anvil.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Beautiful. Forge On. Keep forge lit Keep Making. God Bless.

[@WatersIronworks]

Thanks. You as well!

[@pjamestx]

Very nicely done, always trying to improve my technique with these. They make great decorative ends for various projects too, thanks for sharing!

[@WatersIronworks]

Thanks. I really should do more leaves. I don't make them that often and there are just so many options with them.

листик не плохой , но если сделать по центру две жилки под конус а боковые жилки пробить не зубилом а переточенным молотком , переточенным под конус и слегка под радиус , то так будет красивее , листик будет как живой

Я видел видео на вашем канале о том, как делать листья (th-cam.com/video/jSmlPqplIZ0/w-d-xo.html), они действительно красивы, я понимаю, что вы имеете в виду. Я должен попробовать это.
