Forging A Flower Finial
Written by Ken Hembel   
Page 1 of 4

Originally gleaned from the Northeaster Blacksmiths Association newsletter and reprinted in the UMBA Journal, Vol. 16 No. 6, November-December 1994.

 Steps in forging flowers I learned while studying under Manfred Bredohl, in Aachen, Germany. No dimensions are given as the finial can be made in any size desired.

    Fuller the end of a piece of pipe (seamless is best) with spring fullers or over the anvil. Spread the end of flower over the tip of the horn and cut it off.

After years of trying to get a "round toit" - the Elektric Anvil has been re-integrated into the Celtic Knot. I have closed "ElektricAnvil.net" and am now working on adding new material to the knot.  Come back soon to see what's new at the Celtic Knot.
