used the swage to form the candle socket, should have used someslightly
thinner metal, both base and socket from the same stock, with just
cutoff box nails formed into rivets for thesocket and handle. Recently
made curved end chisel and center punch wasall that was needed for the
decorative edge

Scroll was fun to make, both ends on the same jig, with a *snub
penny*treatment on the end.

was culling what didn*t need to be moved. 7 scrolling jigs (held invise
while hot steel is bent around for matching parts), pair of tongs and a
usermade swage block/bolster that is just about perfect for my little
smithy. Here it is mounted on my old anvil stand (I KNEW I*d find
another use for that)
