This is just a very short guide to doing a Ribbon Scroll
Its mainly the same principle as doing a Rat tail.
- Start off with a section off 12 by 6 bar, this will make the tapering easy to do.
- Taper down the bar on one end, taper it about 3 inches in lenght, try and keep the same materail thickness along the bar
- Flatten it back out to the same width as the oringal bar you started with.
- Knock off the corners to blend it back into the bar
- A KEY POINT AT THIS STAGE IS TO REMEBER TO ROLL THE SCROLL SQUARE TO THE ANVIL SO IT ROLLS EVENLY
- From now its the same procedure as the rat tail scroll, knock it over the end anvil gently then on the flat roll it over bringing your arm to counter the roll
If you do all these stages correctly then you should have a Ribbon scroll
personally i found this a little bit difficult because
as with all my forging i seem to be FULL POWER
and its a little more delicate.
