Forging a snub end scroll - ornamental ironwork

[@shortfuse43]

John, I really like the forge welding method of beefing up the snub end. Kinda one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments. But then, that's why I (we) watch your videos to learn new ways to do things, sometimes much simpler! Great work keeping us all enlightened!

[@tipfox9212]

I'm not a blacksmith but after seeing many of your videos i've the feeling I could just start with it (just kidding :-) ). I think you are a very good teacher Sir . Although I'm not blacksmithing actually I learn a lot from you - thank you. Whish I could give you more than only one thumbsup ...

I just learned how to do a French style penny scroll at a hammer-In this past Fall and man did it blow my mind. Counterintuitive in that you for. The penny as a tear drop in the opposite direction of the scroll first in order to get that gap between the rest of the stock and the penny. I love learning this stuff. Thanks for the new information.

I have a friend who has retired and he gave me some of his old Blacksmith books. With reading the books and watching your videos, I should get pretty good at Blacksmithing. I just need more shop time. Thanks again for all your help.

Like that scroll, the forged one is cool.

[@leperejoe1536]

Now these are gorgeous scrolls, compared to the new way of making them that ends up with a flat starting point. Great job.

[@richardbryant7972]

Very nice I gotta try those

[@jamesmcmillen4828]

Nice! I love the look of a snub end scroll. I'm used to hearing it called a penny scroll.

[@BlackBearForge]

I have always thought of the penny scroll as something slightly different. But have also seen it referred to as a half penny snub end. So there are lots of different names for similar things

You've been busy uploading today ! I'm going to be up late watching. Thanks.

Been trying to give a pulled tenon a little rest but I think I'm going to have to light a fire today. (After I mow the stinking grass.)

[@BlackBearForge]

Grass mowing season is already here. I like spring, but not mowing

[@firesafe8417]

Speaking of the grill project, how does it look installed?

[@BlackBearForge]

I hope I find out someday. I need to get the widow installed first and thats been waiting for about 3 years.

You can often find older books online. Sources for some of these are: The Blacksmith's Craft: azblacksmiths.org/Blacksmiths%20Craft.pdf Wrought Ironwork: www.mooseforge.com/library/Wrought%20Ironwork.pdf It appears that you can download a free pdf (scribd account needed) of Decorative Ironwork from Artisan Ideas: www.artisanideas.com/product/decorativeironworkfreepdf/Decorative-Ironwork-Some-Aspects-of-Design-and-Technique-by-The-Countryside-Agency,-1962.html You can also simply look at it online (without an account). Another that popped up is Hand Forging and Wrought Iron Ornamental Work: www.woodworkslibrary.com/repository/hand_forging.pdf

Download the mentioned books (and others) for free. I shared the link in the video: "spam the blacksmith"
