[TheForge] Forging blackberries?

Tue Jul 8 01:10:01 2003

How about making  round balls, you could do this in a die, then work them
over w/ a punch like you would use to make eyes on animal heads.  Sounds
awfully time consuming, but   I've made wheat heads, you put 5 or six pieces
in the fire at once quit snivling and get to work first thing you know your
done. Anyway  thats what I would try unless you need hundreds of them. I
only got 2-3 cuts w/ each heat but it really didn't take too long once I got
going.
