- With our tear drop punches from the previous video completed lets take a look at using them for forging an ornamental leaf. Every blacksmith has a different approach to forging leaves, so this is just one option.
Black Bear Forge is a small one person blacksmith shop located in southern Colorado. My current focus is shifting away from commissions and customer orders and towards education through these videos on CZcams. Thank you for watching

Great job John it was very good to get to go back and watch this again.
I really love your style of teaching. Clear no-nonsense and I always seem to pick up a tidbit i was not expecting. Thanks for sharing all these valuable lessons. I really need to take a break from watching and actually fire up my forge for the first time. =)
The teardrop chisels and the hand sanding really give the leaf visual interest, thanks for the video!
Amazing how a simple curved versus straight brings the leaf to another level.
very nice project. i like the idea of brass brushing in addition to the steps you took. looks great.
Love the leaf John. I'm getting ready to make my very first leaf and I can really appreciate the time and effort that you've spent on this leaf. I am looking forward to making my first leaf. If it turns out ok then I am going to see about making it into a gift for a loved one. Many thanks for all the fine work you do sir. You are a true professional and a very good teacher!!!!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Thank you very much for these beautiful informative videos! You’re easy to watch and an amazing teacher. Please keep up your fine work and stay safe.
Excellent example of both finish and freedom in the craft!! Thanks again for the great content and lessons John!! Take care and God Bless you and yours!!
Recently rewatched an older video... Man... This anvil set up sounds so much nicer than the constant ring in the earlier videos.
Great content as always, sir. Thanks again.
You got me started making leaves, now you're impelling me to step up my game and make them more interesting! And make new tooling, always a plus. Thanks!
Good video, John! You and the Missus stay safe and healthy!
Dang John.. that is sure a pretty leaf.. you do such fine work.. thanks that kind of brightened my day!..
thank you Sir! best wishes from Vienna, Austria. Stay safe, help your loved ones.
Thanks for this video John. It is very much appreciated. I like the teardrop details so I guess I will have to make some punches. Thank you so much for a little bit of sanity, it goes a long way.
Great job John. You did a great job with the leaves and how you use the tools you made. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Hello from Manitoba. I guess I'll be making some teardrop chisels in the next little while. Thank you for making this video!
Very decorative, thanks John.
I really like this, it elevates a beginning project to the next level.
Hi John, this is first time I've seen you use this finish. Lorelei Sims uses a similar finish that I like. Equal parts beeswax, linseed oil and turpentine with a splash of Japan drier.
Giving us some great ideas while we are in isolation
as always, an enjoyable way to start the day. social distancing has meant I've been able to catch up on all my Black Bear Forge videos!!
For that reason I am going to try to do a few more than I have been
Great video! I always enjoy watching you work. Would love to see a mini series of the first three or four projects you should do when teaching yourself to forge. Keep up the good work!
Thanks John, never thought about lightly hand sanding to bring out the detail and some Linseed oil, I will have to keep that thought in my tool bag for future projects.
Very nice detail you put in with those punches. Looks great
Nice job, great leaf
I'd give 2 thumbs up if I could. Thanks for this
You never cease to provide great content. Take a well known project and reinvent it in a new and entertaining way. Now where did i put that steel?
Hook of the week idea: leaf ended hooks for a coat tree made from an old leaf spring
We have looked at some leaf ended hooks on hook of the week previously.
Nicely done. I need to work on small stuff for a while as my metal store is closed till thinks settle down some and I would have to go to the big box stores to buy steel and besides that I don't want to go to town when I able to avoid it. Going well in Eastern Canada where I live. Be safe and Thank You John....
Very nice leaf , so now I need to make some tools . Thanks for the idea .
Nice work Sir.
Came out good mate.
Hi Mr. Thank you for this interresting lesson. I learn from you some thinks in this video. My blacksmithing garage inside take form, slowly but surely. I bought 2 gaz burners from Lithuany for my brick gaz forge and i bought a plasma cutter 50 Amperes. Now i am doing and i replace a 6.5 HP gaz motor for an 5 HP, 1 PH, 230 volts, FLA 22 Amperes, electycal motor for my air compessor. I did some welding for the new support for this 230 volts motor on the air compresor. I am tire each time to crank this gaz motor, each time i want compresse air for my air tools. Best regards Mr. 2020 03 20 Saint-Joseph de Mékinac, Trois-Rives, Québec et Labrador.
I am pleased that you are enjoying the videos. Have fun and stay safe
Thank you for another great video. I look forward to seeing your videos
Liked it John! I have a curved punch that should work on a leaf, so I'm going to try it! You take care and God bless!
John are you located near Seattle?
Randall Summers. He lives in Beulah Colorado

Thank you for the video and ideas. Now it is time for me to leaf, .. er, leave.
😜
100% improvement John the teardrop punches really make a difference , maybe I Will try to make some after I watch the video on how to make them again.
Very nice, stay safe and regards from Australia :)
Awesome 😍
Hello John
You have Done a very good video

Yours Frank
It's always interesting watching you work. Thank you for sharing. Stay healthy.
That is amazing love it
First I saw that post on the forum with pic and guess what tools you use
Good example Sir
Thanks for enjoying your video Sir
significant difference. Bravo.
Well done sir!
John I’m totally hook on brushing with the bronze for color and bees wax for the finish ! I bet if I experiment on my leaves I could bump up sales ... once I can get out too sell stuff again !
Great video. I like to add notches on the sides as if the leaves were ripped.
Interesting idea
I once heard A blacksmith can put a square block in a round hole and blacksmiths do it with force lol thought of this with all the delicate measures on todays video lol
Good Morning Sir
Veliki majstore za sve vaše objavljene radove velika vam hvala to je prava pedagogija i praksa za buduće kovače ja sam pomagao ujaku u izradi burgija za drvo pa sam dobro upoznao kovački zanat. Zanima me što je to u toj maloj bočici kao neko žuto ulje sa kojim možete kovani list. Hvala vam unaprijed na vašem povoljnom odgovoru. Puno pozdrava iz Vukovara. Republika Hrvatska. Sa poštovanjem vaš gledalac Petar.
That is a mix of bees wax, mineral spirits and linseed oil. It makes a nice finish
After you set the vein pattern can you cup that area down by using a round wooden dowel or is there another way?
From the back where there isn't any detail to hurt i use the steel ball punch over a wood block. I doubt driving with a wooden dowel would hold up to the abuse
Good looking leaf, Would you tell me the recipe for the beeswax, linseed oil finish, thanks.
I think give it in this video czcams.com/video/ArU81O6OiBc/video.html
I'll be 292. what's that yellow stuff in the jar?
touch mark ?
I don't feel that everything requires a touch mark. especially smaller pieces where the touch mark can be a distraction
@@BlackBearForge thanks for replying I see your point
Second leaf = better
looks kind of like a baby spoon lol
