- I show how I form scroll ends, mainly using a swage block.

Mate, with respect I have to argue the toss, regarding your declaration that you don't do artistic stuff. Everything I have watched you make has a definite artistic quality to it. All very functional, and really pleasing to the eye. I can make functional stuff, but the way it looks, only its mother would love it.
You're being very generous and kind and probably too hard on yourself. Thanks James.
Glen, you are a good human. Much respect and appreciation. More to come
I try but suppose I can always do better. Thanks for your kind comment.
Like the way you use the sewage block to make the scroll. Good pro tip thanks!
It's a fairly good way so long as you are able to strike the opposite end of the workpiece. Thanks Steve.
Over the edge not ever the edge, Bone head approved.
The important part is: Bonehead Approved!
Nice work, Bonehead! Using the edge depressions of a swage block definitely helps. Great tips.
I always take Bonehead as a compliment! Thanks for all Bryson.
It was certainly meant as a compliment!@@gstongs
Thanks Glen I have never thought about using my swage block to make scrolls. Never seen it demonstrated here on RUclips either.
Thanks!
A first time for everything my friend. Thanks.
Good viewer question! Great reply and tutorial Glen! Always interesting and useful! Thanks!
Glad the Q&A yielded results. Thanks Robert.
Glen….good idea using the swage block. …..your always inventing something new…stay well! Steve B.
Gottta think of new stuff every now and then. But the swage to firms scrolls is pretty consistent. Thanks Steve.
I have never seen a scroll made with a depressed swage. Crazyness
The madness of it all. Even swages are depressed! Haha... Thanks.
Excellent! I guess I just found a new use for my mini swage block :) Thanks for doing this
I will continue to use my mini swage in videos and maybe show what it might be useful for. Thanks so much.
traditionally if you only had an anvil, just the tip of the taper over the edge with glancing blow to start the scroll and flip to continue the curl or move to another part of the anvil, like the step, to drive into as to tighten the scroll. However, I find the swage to be great for achieving consistently even scrolls in quantity. Thank you for another enjoyable video!
Your comment on better scroll forming makes the most sense to me. Thanks for sharing and for watching.
Interesting, thanks GLen
My pleasure Ron. Thanks.
It's an interesting technique but only is applicable when you have the luxury of being able to strike the cold end of the material down into the swage. If you have a decoration on the other end, like a leaf for example, you probably won't be able to do that. Then, using the edge of the anvil as some other have suggested, makes more sense.
For sure you're right - you need to be able to hit the opposite end which isn't always possible. Thanks for watching.
the flat end appears when you don't support your material. When starting the scroll, let only a very small portion of the material stick over the edge of the anvil and push your material forward as you hit it three to four times, then turn it around to work on the surface. If you start with a 90° bend, you will always end with a flat end piece.
Thanks for your input on making a better freehand scroll.
Спасибо за видео, как всегда отличная работа. Но я такие завитки никогда не делаю, не нравятся мне они.
thats a useful little hardy tool you have there Glen, do you make that one to sell? it would be a great addition to anyones anvil tooling
I really like the irregular one too but can you do it again??
Thanks for sharing
Yeah, I like the irregular scroll but I'm fairly sure it's a one off job! I do sell that mini swage block but will probably stop once the ones I have are gone. Thanks for all.
How many times have you reached up there and grabbed that flaming hot steel bare handed?
It's happened but much rarer than you might think. Thanks for watching.
Dont do a 90 start curling ever the edge at the very tip of material.
I'll keep working on my scrolls. Thanks.
You're so down to earth and that is refreshing.
I wish my wife would see as much! But seriously, I appreciate your very kind comment.
I see a new hammer here.
You never know what will be next. Thanks.
молодец Глен
Thanks for watching.
