Great video! I could have saved countless hours if I started with you...many videos show the angle of the stock, but yours is the first to also show hammer-face angle. Holding the hammer at the correct angle is so important, but overlooked by most. You also did a great job showing how to go off the far edge to initiate the scroll, then modeled with your hand. I learned more in your short s-hook video than I did watching many other videos and countless sessions inefficiently tapering and drawing out 3/16" and 3/8" round. Many thanks! I just subscribed.
Great instruction as always. I have a problem with them coming out the same length. They're not off by much but just enough to bug me. I start off with the same length stock and I've shorted up my tapers to leave less room for error. Still struggling with consistency though.
I've been away from my forge for a year because of a job and will soon be getting back into it. All my muscles have shrunk from being stuck in a tiny city apartment. Do you have any advice for rebuilding the right body for smithing?
