Blacksmithing - Forging a ginkgo leaf
Рет қаралды 99,625
In this video I show how I forge a ginkgo leaf from a piece of flat bar.
The leaf will be donated to the "Blacksmith Family Tree" project.

In the late 70’s, when I was messing around with live BONSIA trees, this was my favorite tree. Now in 2023 it is STILL my favorite tree!! Nice Job My Friend!!

I think it is mine too! Have one in a pot... even tried to bonsai:fy one, but sadly it died on me. Probably got too dry at some point.

I was made one of these as a gift for my sister and it was stollen by a guest in my house. It was beautifully done but I guess they needed it more than they felt my sister did.

I love the combination of the music from the forge and hammer with the music from Wintergatan! This was a good example of how it's possible to combine keeping the working sounds clean, and still adding atmosphere to parts of a video using music. Thanks Torbjörn and Martin for the inspirations

I cannot help picturing of Torbjörn forging Wintergatan’s marble machine out of steel. I believe he can do that if he wants to but I like his ginko leaf and iris better.

Some people don't like video's with music, other's don't want anything that doesn't involve blacksmithing (garden's). At the end of the day KZfaq is like pants...... to many dicks and a-holes!! Think about it this way, though, hitting both like and dislike both do the same thing in the whole KZfaq algorithms and move the video higher up the recommended video list. KZfaq counts any interactions as possitive 👍
