Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village I'm Terry. And I'm here today to show you the workings of the forge. Alright I've cut shapes of leaves out of 18 gage material and I've placed them in the forge and I'm going to pound them out now, so I'll have leaves for my vines on my gates. See the scale coming off, that's why I always talk about you need to wear safety glasses. The scale gets in our eyes. I'm not pounding that very hard so. Then try to make the leaves as natural looking as you can. Once it's painted or to give it that rust finish to it. It won't look nothing like metal. That's basically a leaf."
