cool, the buckle in the end there is easier because there is a depth of furrow behind the top fuller that supports the outer edge. It gives the top fuller something to push against to make the deeper furrow. When you go freom outside in the top fuller just skates on the outside edge and has much more trouble pressing it in the right direction. There are a plethora of little jobs in blacksmithing that are made easier by moving from the inside out. If you are having trouble getting anything to move the way you want it change the direction of hammering/fullering and you'll be surprised how many times it works a treat great tip btw thanks for sharing. These also look like Echinodorus Muricatus leaves One for you Joel if you round off the ends of the top fuller (like a cross pein) just a little bit more it will smooth out some if the little marks you are getting in the vein
@@TalRohan I'll take your word for it on the species of leaf, you sound like you know what you're talking about 😃 not the best angle to see the tooling but both are very radiused, I think any little marks are from me slightly misaligning the leaf as I move it through. When I get it hot & do the shaping it gives me the space to get back in & planish out the marks though 🙂
@@joeltarrartistblacksmith ah cool I had not factored in the heating part ...could we see a finished one at some point...The species I mentioned is an aquatic species that occasionally grows up out of the water and forms leaves like that, about that size too lol .
@@TalRohan I made one before but have since tweaked the leaf shape a bit after client feedback. You can see the old finished one at the end of this video ruclips.net/video/uF21_yWVHzw/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Nice one Joel! Hosta la vista! 😊

@@joeltarrartistblacksmith cool thanks
Id like to see your arbor press setup
How do you mean? As in, the whole fly press? The tooling is in the video, which is the important bit.
@@joeltarrartistblacksmith ah, fly press. Cool, I just assumed it was an arbor press
