Thanks Nathan, I doubt the toll on my wrist and arms was as bad as the toll all of those acanthus leaves delivered. It was a huge learning experience for me, and I might still be working on piece #87 or whatever had it not been for the advice and guidance from you and the other members on this site. Thanks again. The lesson is this: 700 forged pieces = Power Hammer x Practice. I did enjoy the hands on forge work a lot more than most of my past jobs. Each piece required thought and attention, yet after a while a rhythm developed which was easy to keep up with(and I wasn't wearing a welding helmet all day!). I think I'm going to enjoy exploring this avenue of work and will be looking forward to building/buying a power and a treadle hammer.
