Beginner Blacksmithing forming eyes
Gday everyone and welcome back to the channel,
Today we move on in the Beginner Blacksmith classes with how to forge eyes.
We start with an offset eye, next up is a rat tail scroll which at it's simplest is a small offset eye and lastly is the classic forged eye often used as the end on fire tools etc.
I am using just some scrap steel for this exercise, there is no point wasting good steel on the practice for this when you have some scrap sitting around, also it is much cheaper and easier to get some scrap from a scrap yard to practice than spend good money on on new material for practicing your hammer techniques.
Just make sure to thoroughly clean any rust off before use as the rust can break off and send hot fragments through the air.
Thank you for watching and bye for now
