[TheForge] Traditional Metalsmith update & shop projects

Fri Feb 7 15:08:01 2003

George on the cover picture there is sort of a flower on the anvil w/ a
beaded section comming out of the center. Does this flower or whatever it is
have a name?  I used some flowers or whatever real similar to this in a
railing along with some snub end scrolls, looked pretty sharp, and the
client loved it, but I had to tell him I don't know what those things are
supposed to be just something I saw somewhere.
Took 3-4 attempts to make the first one, then thought I had it mastered,
when I got to the railing could not make one for nothing, wound up making
different tooling to make the beaded section.
