Join me as I'm making a fancy fishtail scroll. If you're curious about how to forge a scroll finial and you'd like to add some decorative filing, this video is right up your alley. 

Once you know how to forge a fishtail scroll finial (end), you can continuing forging the rest of your scroll. I really enjoy hand forging scrolls, that have such a fantastic handmade feel to them! 

I've also got a video on how to forge a scroll by hand, where I cover forging scrolls. In the future I'd like to cover an assortment of forged metal scrolls. And I will likely cover a jig for bending a scroll at some point in the future.
