My senior project is blacksmithing so over the past few months I have made a variety of things. The best part about learning to become a blacksmith is that most of the basic projects you do at first lead into the next project. For example, I had to make a chisel out of a spring from a car. The next project then required me to use the chisel to make indentations. It is all very structured and planed out because they have had thousands of years to teach people how to blacksmith so they teaching methods are very well rounded. Just recently I made a spring fuller, a tool which is used to pinch metal, and then used it to make a leaf key chain. I have not completed I yet but I have done the leaf portion. Below are some pictures of the forge and of the leaf.
