[TheForge] Ellipse-forging test result

[Bruce Freeman]

To each his own, but forging that ellipse over a cone mandrel struck me
as pretty easy.

I'd say, a cone or cylinder mandrel for one ellipse,  a jig for 100.

Yeah, match a drawing for one or three but make a 
proper jig for 100.

If it ain't forged
it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
