    Thanks for the great video John, the trivet turned out great. We always enjoy watching how you correct the little imperfections that a striking hammer can make so easily then you have to correct that and show folks how to save the project. Patients and persistence will overcome . Stay safe and keep up the great work and fun around there. Fred.

    Thanks, John, for the nice video. I've been trying to make Tobjorn Ahman's version of this 3-scroll trivet for holiday gifts this year. I spent quite a bit of time with a torch making them all pretty close. It's no small thing for a hobby blacksmith to produce 3 identical pieces! On Tobjorn's design, it's held together by a single rivet where the tail of one scroll contacts the mid-point of another scroll. Unfortunately, the scrolls are all floppy as I can't seem to get the rivets tight enough. The double rivet and the overlap on your design make this a non-issue.

    Without the testing piece or jig already made, how do you know the scroll type you need to make? I guess that not all scrolls will join in a circle like this one.

    Interesting hardy tool at about 7:50 of the video. What do you call it? 30 plus years ago I worked as a metal fabricator for a place that made custom furniture. We would make our own scrolling jigs for whatever the customer wanted. We didn't work with forges but would heat up the material with a torch and clamp the jig in a vise. When they closed the doors they told us to take any jigs we had made. Still have mine but have never used them for blacksmithing. I'm going to have to dig them out and give this project a try. Thanks for sharing.

    John, my question is slightly off topic. I see that you are still using Johnson's Paste Wax. I just finished several bottle openers for Christmas gifts and realized that I needed to reorder more wax. It was then that I realized that it had been discontinued. Is there an alternative that you would recommend? Love the trivet.
