Mikey from @mbbladeworks forging a cobra at our local Hammer In! This was such a great idea that Rob had and it was a blast. Forging something like this was new for all of us, so we all tried different things and figured it out. Here Mikey is using a swage block to support the body of the snake as he rounds it over. To see the finished snake check out his page. He has some awesome tools he makes too. 💪🏻 Feeling inspired? Come take a class and see what we can make together- https://fireironforg

Semi spherical . I’m forging up a semi spherical swage block and a semi cylindrical for a customer in Switzerland. These go in/on the anvil for forging work in. Dishing , rounding, sinking are just a couple things you can use the 2” , 1.5” and 1” half spherical depressions for. These are forged from 4140 and will have a 1” square shank welded to them. All forged from 2.25” round stock on the vintage Alldays and onions air hammer . @frontstepforge in Edmonton Canada https://frontstepforge.com/sea
