Fold Forming Techniques for Forging a Leaf

For this video, I was forging a leaf using fold forming techniques. I used my leaf jig tool to assist in the fold forming (link below for that tool). This forging technique makes a very defined leaf. I also show how you can apply a brass brushed finish.

I’m a newby. I have enjoyed all of your videos. I like the detailed explanations. I just finished 3 metal roses following your video. My wife said they were beautiful but she says that about everything I build. I have a wood shop and added a forge about 6 months ago. I’m trying to fuse the two together. I turned vases for all the roses. Keep up the good work. It was the name of your forge that lead me to watch the first one. May god bless your and your family in all your endeavors.

I'm a newbie but have been using your videos to help me along and over time I hope to get better. My wife really likes some of things i have made for her. I consider myself a good craftsman with wood and have built many things around the homestead. I'm pretty sure my wife thinks i just pick up the forging metalwork naturally :o) But really I'm getting everything from your videos :o) You explain everything in detail that I can understand. I thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

Good job wife on the editing! :) Wish my wife would have edited my videos hah. I quit youtube whenever I realized I was making less than $1/hour. I loved doing it, but it was really stressing my time as it has nothing to do with my real job. At least your are a blacksmith so your recording is part of the job lol.

Yup, KZfaq definitely requires a TON of value upfront, before you ever start making any sort of money out of it. Thanks for checking out our video! ~Jessica

I have a question, I just acquired a mouse hole anvil, in not bad shape but doesn't have sone semi deep groves of face and rolled edges on face from years of use. After seeing a lot of posts of people saying don't touch wit grinder or flapper wheel, should I feel bad f I want to touch up so it won't chip off when using it? I think a maintenance shop has been using it verses a black smith shop. I understand that it is very old, but want to use it for what it was intended for, thank you. For advice in advance.

Actually, I have just the opposite problem! Even with all my volumes clear up, I often have a hard time hearing you. Just to let you know that you MAY be right on and the computer volume may be what is wrong! Who knows and you can't please all of us! Best wishes!
