I’ve started forging the small flowers for the Lilly of the valley gate.
It’s a long time since I’ve forged tube and I’m really enjoying the experience, they are a very delicate and difficult shape to handle when hot, especially when your bashing them into shape.
I am not using any jigs or dies, just the power hammer and hand hammer on the anvil
F.o.A.B Glasgow branch here. Have you considered sacking the hand model you employed for these shots?!
