Blacksmithing Tutorials - Scrolling

Join me as I taking about the traditional blacksmith technique of forging scrolls.
Often used as a decorative element to larger, more architectural ironwork, the scroll is often seen as the quintessential blacksmith process.
I will be explaining what makes a good scroll, how to forge all different sizes, I will show you a few examples of how to incorporate them into smaller scale products, and then (as is often my motivation) I will be showing you how to make life easier for yourself with the use of a scrolling jig.
Hope you enjoy!

Very good descriptive uses and methods. One of my first chores at school was building a scroll jig to match a scroll we had made. Interesting and fun. A great job on the video.

Thank you so much for saying that! Always great to have positive feedback.

Thank you for sharing. I have a few similar jigs that I made for a company I used to work for that made furniture for beauty salons. They are rather primitive, but they do work.

Appreciate it! Yeah, scroll jigs are so handy. The reason I don't use them is that I don't tend to incorporate scrolls into my product designs. But they're perfect for batch production

@@TomFellBlacksmithI have used them only one or two times in my smithing. Someone I know had an old iron railing that had scrolls in it and they needed some replacements. They worked for the job.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the information in your video👍. At this time i am an armchair blacksmith 😅. I was a mechanic/repair welder for years and I have all the tools I need. Next step is to get started.
