Is it spring in the workshop (I dont think so)

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
