Forge Work

Here are some pictures of the forged pieces I did at Touchstone. The copper pieces were forged from 6 gauge round wire and the silver bracelet was forged from 8 gauge round wire. This piece is about 4" long
The top view of the fork, about 4" long

The side view of the fork...I totally used my blacksmithing skills on these pieces. I stole the design elements from the blacksmiths as well.



The first piece I forged at Touchstone, it is an example of both kinds of hammer blows. Both elongating the metal and widening the metal.


A bracelet made of sterling silver. There's a hook on the left side and you can't see it too good in this picture but there's a leaf on the right side of the bracelet. This started out as a 3" piece of wire and I believe the final length is 6"
