[@Smallathe]

That is super impressive. A lot of hard work and a gorgeous result!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thank you so much

[@Smallathe]

@@ChristCenteredIronworks thank you both for teaching & inspiring! I have been making leaf keychains as a beginner practice and following your videos - I will not be sellling my work, or become a professional - but I do so much enjoy learning from you!

[@justin_ray]

I hope someday to be able to make something half as beautiful as that.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

I'm honored :-)

[@GreenBeetle]

Awesome! Best sounding anvil on KZbin, too.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Well thank you sir :-) Olga does have quite the singing voice in my humble opinion lol

[@SchysCraftCo.]

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks Jared God bless

[@brysonalden5414]

Thanks for the continuation of the project videos, and glad to learn it's gold leaf, not gold paint. Would still like to see a video on your gilding process, not that I'm about to invest in the gold to do it myself!

Thank you

Man I'm a young Christian and been forging longer than I have been serving and watching you work iron to the glory of God is wonderful. Man was created to work and although we are in a sin cursed world doesn't mean we can't provide in a job we like. You don't have to hate work you sometimes may not feel like it

[@kansasprairieforge2918]

Roy, healing up from my knee replacement. Watching this video. What size of material did you use to make the leaf turning stake?

[@hanzosbm1]

Well, damn. I THOUGHT I was a pretty decent architectural blacksmith, then I saw this and realized how much more I have to learn.

[@kevingrubb9835]

Its beautiful man, what kinda paint did you use to get that rich gold hugh

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

That is gilded with 23 karat gold leaf . not paint :-)

[@fouledanchorforge5223]

So much cool 😎

[@haydenvarley3291]

What gold paint did you use for the leaves?

[@mattwyeth3156]

Hi roy do you get a lot of hammer marks in your scroll is it possible to prevent them or limit them when hand forging

[@2H80vids]

Any special reason for not using hot rivets? Not a criticism, just curious and lacking knowledge on such things.😁 I would have expected the rivets to be glowing when they went in.

[@shadetreeforge]

Trying to place a hot rivet in that application would be almost impossible! depending on the rivet and size of rivet, setting them cold like that is possible. Larger rivets in applications such as that would be placed cold but the stem would be heated with a torch and then peened over.

[@2H80vids]

@@shadetreeforge Thank you Frank. You mean physically holding/carrying/placing such a small rivet would be too difficult with tongs? That does make sense. They'd be a bit hot to use tweezers. 😁 Would using a bigger rivet have any advantages. Torches must be a 𝑓𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑙𝑦 recent development surely?

[@mattwyeth3156]

Iv noticed that when blacksmith make tools for the vice that they don't put shoulders on them like they do for hardy tools why is that

[@danielcrawford7315]

1st maybe lolololol
