Frank Turley, Santa Fe, New Mexico USA |

Frank Turley upsetting a small bar. Frank recommended chamfering the end of the bar to get a good upset. The chamfer prevents the bar from spreading at the edges and focused the blow further down the bar (see notes below). | ||||
Morgan Hall took these notes during Frank's demo.
Note the right and wrong way to make an upset.
So why should I take my own when a photo will do? |

Forging a Flux Spoon To make the bowl Frank used a ball pien hammer and just let the hot iron make its own depression in the wood. Afterwards he commented that it would be nice to have a small mushroom stake. Someone said, "Use the vise handle"! So he did. A ball pien hammer clamped in the vise works good too. | ||||
