In this video, I demonstrate the technique of forging two different styles of leaves. Leaves are an ideal project for beginner blacksmiths as there is less need for strict proportions. Leaves come in many different shapes and lend themselves to personal expression. The leaf motif can be used as an end treatment for countless projects or a stand-alone pendant/key-chain as in this example.

Like the leaves you made no fuss and more natural looking.

[@ss5gogetunks]

My teacher showed me the first design, but I really like the second design. Gonna use that!

[@ss5gogetunks]

I'm starting to realize just how much of my blacksmithing curriculum was taken from Thak videos! Haha.
My teacher loves Thak and showed us Thak videos all the time, now I'm watching him to teach myself now that my course is over.

Would you consider doing some repousse fall foliage?

[@ThakIronworks]

absolutely not........well maybe?

[@ravenwicked4631]

@@ThakIronworks 😭 just thinking it might be timely and a good way to demonstrate technique. I saw it offered somewhere local, so thought I'd ask!

I’m sorry but I can’t get past the fact he is making leaves while wearing a slayer shirt.
