This week’s #blacksmith challenge was to make a snail from the largest stock you have. Here’s my snail. Saw things i could have done differently, but the experiment seemed to have worked. I upset the end of the bar, then fishtailed it to provide the bulged centre of the shell. Body is split down the middle and opened out.
Finish could definitely have been better.
Stock was 16mm round bar.
