That's awesome, Roy! I love how you upset that into a disk. And I love your pointy finger/back scratcher looking thing you use to point to the hot metal. Right on!
Roy, excellent vid as always and don't worry about the video length, I would sit and watch you all day. And I have! when you came to the WRABA conference, as long as the demo is interesting and you keep people entertained. I think most would watch a longer video. It's when I'm crammed for time and trying to watch as many videos as I can is when I avoid the longer videos regardless of who recorded it.
I really like the real time presentations you make. It gives a beginner like me an idea of how labor intensive a particular design is. Of course I'm sure it would be a bit less time for you if you weren't teaching and explaining things to us.
You made a VERY important reference in this video, and that was touching on the golden ratio. 1:1.618. PLEASE make a video on making some golden calipers. I made some a bit over a moth ago out of a legit need for them in our smithy, and they are invaluable. I truly believe that every smithy should have a set or two. I just drilled mine out of some half inch flat bar, and cold rivited them together. Total project time was maybe 30 mins. Beautiful scroll, and keep up the awesome vids Roy!👍
10 min is never enough. I'll take 18 any day. Lol Nice as always, opportunity to learn of this technique is greatly appreciated. If only this danged thing called "work" didnt always get in the way.... God love ya Mr. Roy, cuz I know we do 👍😁😁 Blessed days sirSir, Crawford out
Ben Toombs, I’d say that by making the shoulder first, he can lay the edge against anvil when upsetting which helps isolate the upset in the 25mm he started with. If you upset fist you would probably upset more then the 25mm he wanted upset.
@@paganironworks3622 so he's just using the edge of the Anvil to catch the shoulder for the upset. I still think it'd be easier to do a small upset and then do your shoulders and then tapered off. personal preference
Simple answer is no for length. The thicker the bar the More technical Mass of steel will be contained in It. The amount needed will depend on material thickness and not shape of the stock
Thanks for another good one Roy! I like doing scrollwork. Feels like good practice of a few fundamentals with quick results. So far just doing them by hand, haven't gotten around to making a jig. Been good practice for consistency for me. Do happen to know of any specific exercises to work on hammer aim/angle consistency? I do a few warm up routines that I made up for myself with various hammers that help. I'm really concentrating on getting efficient and clean with my forging at this stage, any suggestions from you would be greatly appreciated!!!
Hi Roy, I have a start up shop cnc plasma cutting welding, fab. I'm aiming at Industrial work about I also do some wall hangers and vinyl graphics as well, slowly building as I am working full time. So my question is can you help me make a makers mark / stamp. I seen a vid of yours making one and it's something I started but I don't have the tools or time to make everything I would need to do it, let alone never had done it before I would probably mess it up. This is the first time I've tried to reach out on RUclips so I hope I reach you. If this does you can find my contact info on FB @ dans kreative. Thank you, Hope to hear from you. Love your work by the way.
Over from Barr Run Forge to check out your channel. I love watching the forging. Hope you have a blessed week! :)
your pointy finger made me actually laugh out loud. it is delightful. thank you for the good work.
Thanks :) We've got a video on the pointy finger called, "Forging a hand".
That seems to be a very different type of finial. Love it!! Looks like a lot of fun to make. Thanks for sharing and teaching!
Ok thanks roy I'm going to try to make this scroll from 10mm round and make a trivit out of them
Never much cared for scrolls- HOWEVER now I'm beginning to look at them in a whole new light- thank you
That's awesome, Roy! I love how you upset that into a disk. And I love your pointy finger/back scratcher looking thing you use to point to the hot metal. Right on!
looks good, I have to wait until my ribs heal up to try any of this work. thanks for all the great instructions
Hey thanks for having a recent trailer, keep the faith and don't sell out, have a will to get on it and carry your burden best you can!
This is the best video of yours I've seen. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Thanks to your tips and tricks my first one turned out very well.
another great demonstration of techniques to add to the toolbelt
You're like the Bob Ross of blacksmithing
Almost looks like a shamrock . Very nice 👍

I'm very glad to have as part of the channel Frank thanks for all the time you spend keeping up with me and my antics :-)
@@ChristCenteredIronworks Glad to be of service!
Beautifully done!
God bless you buddy that is very nice of you for sharing this fun stuff.

I love the metal pointer finger🤣
"No where near 10 minutes", LOL [final video 18:04]
I love you Roy.
oh and thats a double fibronacci in the end

Exelente trabajo
Hola soy mexicano y me encanta la forja
Another good Video for the Series Roy. Thank you
Loved the video Roy!
oh wow someone who actually has an other than London andvil!
Loved the video!!!
Would it be easier to upset the end before you put the shoulders in so it's not so floppy?
That was my first thought, but I can see why he did it that way also. It's probably personal preference.
@@JarlSeamus why is it better not to upset at first ?I don't see the advantage,explain it to me please

@@bentoombs that was my thought as well.
Cool I will try it now going to the forge now.
Dude that’s awesome
Nice !
Thank you
How do you keep from actually forming a cold shut that will snap off the more you attempt to forge in the decorative elements or the scroll
Does it take more steel to make a scroll from round bar as it would in flat or square stock
Simple answer is no for length. The thicker the bar the More technical Mass of steel will be contained in It. The amount needed will depend on material thickness and not shape of the stock

"Don't wreck your rosette".... got it. Thanks

I like your channel. Like 382 Natalie.
