Architects and designers often use forged elements in their work. Openwork metal grilles covering fireplaces or beautiful balusters on the stairs look elegant and noble.

If you know how to forge and learn this craft, you can create original products yourself.

This activity is suitable for anyone who likes to do physical work and who is ready to get acquainted with the technology and features of choosing a metal.

What you need to know about forging?

Forging is a process of processing a special workpiece. Its purpose is to give the metal the required dimensions and shape. There is a distinction between hot forging and cold forging.

The master needs to get acquainted with both varieties in order to know the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Hot forging method

In the hot method, the metal workpiece is heated strongly. As a result, the metal becomes ductile. Hot forging gives the workpiece the required dimensions and desired shape. The master has a variety of work options available to him.

Heating a metal workpiece also has its disadvantages. First of all, it is necessary to arrange a special room. You will need to buy a forge, for which you will have to buy fuel.

It is necessary to follow fire safety rules; it is important that the master knows how to work with fire.

Having an idea of ​​the temperature conditions used in the forging process, you can easily select the desired type of forging.

Cold forging method

Cold forging is a labor-intensive process. To achieve the desired shape from a metal workpiece, it is bent, pressed and welded. The technique is a little simpler compared to the hot method.

The workshop does not require a lot of space, and to set it up you do not need to purchase a special forge; it is enough to buy a forging machine.

The manufacturing process of a product involves working with semi-finished products. If a mistake has been made, it is impossible to correct it.

Choosing metal

Metals with certain properties are suitable for hand forging. The more ductile the metal, the easier it is to change its shape. However, ductility is inextricably linked with strength.

An increase in one characteristic inevitably entails a decrease in another. When buying a workpiece, the master must know exactly what its composition is.

Craftsmen make decorative forging elements from copper, steel, duralumin or brass. In addition, alloys can also be used. Information about metals that can be easily forged can be found in the Steel and Alloys Guide.

What tools are needed for forging?

Inventory varies depending on the forging method. A forge with an anvil and hammers with tongs will be needed for hot forging.

For the cold method, you need a “Gnutik” tool, which allows you to bend the workpiece at an angle, and a “Snail” machine for forging, which you can make yourself. The latest machine allows you to create decorative elements with a spiral shape.

Note!

In addition to the basic tools for the cold method, “Flashlight”, “Wave”, “Twister”, a ring machine and others can be additionally used.

The modern market offers industrial machines designed to perform technological operations. In the photo of forging you can see a product made on the “Master 2” machine from the MAH company.

Hand forged

In order for the workpiece to acquire the desired shape, the master must use different techniques and methods in his work. You will need to purchase various tools and master different technologies.

The cold forging method does not require much effort from the master. The work includes the following stages:

• creating a drawing or sketching a decorative element;
• procurement of workpieces;
• forging process.

Today a drawing can be made using computer program yourself or order it from professionals. The project will allow you to calculate before starting work how much metal blanks you need to purchase.

Note!

The main forged elements are represented by the following groups:

• Paws. The end of the metal rod is given a certain shape.
• Curls. The ends of the rod can be bent in one or two directions.
• Rings. Decorative elements are made from rods with a square or round cross-section.
• Torsion. It is characterized by helical twisting along the axis.

3 generally accepted technologies are used: drawing, bending and twisting.

• The hood allows you to increase the length of the metal workpiece, reducing the value of its cross-section.
• Bending makes it possible to bend any part of the workpiece at an angle.
• Twisting is a technology in which the workpiece is twisted along its axis. A Twister machine is used for twisting.

All elements are assembled together and secured by welding. These operations are performed on a special table. Homemade cold forging does not require any special skills.

Note!

In our family, everyone now knows the word Paper art (http://stranamasterov.ru/user/151613). Because the whole house is a decorating workshop. Today I am again with the box. And again from a mobile phone (this little box is probably three years old already). Her turn has come. It turns out that being Plyushkin is not so bad. Where else would I find objects to use my talents?

The medallion is cast from plaster. I have a chain strap made of metal medallions, hollow inside - it’s very convenient to make castings...

I made the side panels the same this time.

And this is the work of my daughter Alevtina. Let me explain: the dots on the glass are millet. On my box I have corrugated cardboard stripes, balls and leaf flowers - cold porcelain, and all the curls are napkins, simply twisted into a flagellum. Flagella were twisted from one layer of napkin. Twisted on fabric. The thickness of the flagellum is slightly more than 1 mm. Oh, yes, I forgot about the pasta... The stars on the lid are Italian-made pasta. And the metal effect is created thanks to gold tinting. They painted it with black acrylic, and on top there was bronze acrylic (glass) and gold acrylic (box).

Good afternoon, my friends!

I love these leaves so much. They are very interesting; to me personally, it reminds me of imitation forging.

Paper leaves - imitation of forging.

To work you will need:

• live leaves;
• napkin;
• PVA glue;
• acrylic paints – black and gold;
• acrylic varnish.

My husband gave me this, a bouquet of roses. And in the design of this bouquet there were green branches with leaves.

It is interesting that when the roses withered, these branches with leaves remained fresh for a long time. When they began to dry out, I put them to use.

At that moment I was faced with the task of decorating an old floor lamp. That's what I needed the leaves for. So, I decorated plenty of leaves. And the poor thing still hasn’t brought the floor lamp to fruition. But that is another story.

When I started decorating the leaves, they were mostly dry, but not yet brittle. And I placed completely dry leaves in a cup of water and soaked them until they were slightly saturated with moisture and did not crumble.

But I think that you can use completely fresh ones, not dried out.

Let me clarify that this was a long time ago. But I still have a few leaves left, just a little decorated. Therefore, the photos of the master class do not appear from the very beginning of work.

In the photo below you can see that the leaves are already dry. This is understandable, they lay there for a long time. But the fact is that the reverse side of them is already covered with napkins. And that’s why the leaves don’t crumble.

Leaves for decoration

Then, I cut ordinary napkins into rectangles larger than the leaves themselves. And I took the same napkins as before. There are stocks left.

I cut the napkins into rectangles.

Then, on one side of the sheet, a thick layer of PVA glue was applied.

Applied PVA glue

I applied a napkin and carefully smoothed it with a wide brush. At the same time, I applied more PVA on top of the napkin. I was especially careful around the edges. So that the napkin sticks well to the edges of the leaf.

I also applied PVA glue to a napkin.

On the reverse side it looks like the photo below.

This is what the other side looks like.

In the same way, I pasted over all the leaves.

I covered all the leaves

Then, I left the leaves to dry. I laid them out on a plastic tray because... PVA glue is not intended for gluing plastic. And after drying, the leaves are easily separated from the plastic. And of course, I laid it dry side down. It took about 4 hours to dry completely.

When the glue is completely dry. I cut the napkins along the very edges of the leaves.

Trimmed the edges of the napkin leaves

Then, you should glue the leaves on the back side. But I already did this much earlier..

After I completely covered the leaves with napkins, I painted them black. To do this, I mixed black acrylic paint with acrylic varnish, in proportions 1/1. And thickly, using a brush, I painted the leaves with this composition.

And I especially carefully painted the edges of the leaves. No matter how hard I tried, the napkins did not stick very well in some places. Therefore, these places should be painted especially carefully.

I painted it on both sides at once and laid them on polyethylene so as not to stain the work surface.

Painted the leaves black

Then I painted it gold

In the photo below, the first three leaves are painted with gold paint. And the last one is bronze. This is just for the sake of experimentation.

Which color do you like best? For example, I liked the gold one.

Painted leaves

This is a bunch of people waiting in the wings. And for a long time now.

This is the number of leaves waiting in the wings

I really like these leaves! We can say that they are made practically from paper. And also, they remind me of imitation forging.

Anyway, these leaves are very cute.

And besides this, they are quite durable - they do not tear. And elastic - they bend well, but do not lose their shape.

Beautiful leaves made of paper - imitation of forging.

P.S. Recently, I had the opportunity to take them apart. I cut very small shamrocks from these leaves. I needed them when I... On this bottle, I needed to depict ivy. This is where a few of these leaves came in handy for me.

There is a great idea how to create a chic wall decoration from four photo frames. If you looked at the photo, you thought it was metal art forging. And no matter how good it is, its cost is sometimes no less impressive than the work itself! And if I claim that such decoration is quite accessible and at very modest material costs. Moreover, you can do it yourself, if you wish, of course. Do you have any doubts? To convince you, I will present a list of things needed to implement the project “”.

1. Photo frames 4 pieces, 10 by 15 cm,
2. 2 pieces of slats, 1 meter long and 1 cm wide,
3. glue gun,
4. Cardboard rolls of toilet paper (about 20 pieces),
5. White glossy spray paint,
6. Tons of patience.

And so let's get started and start by cutting each rail into 3 parts. The length of the resulting slats will be approximately 33 cm. Now, using two slats and glue gun, fasten two photo frames at a distance of 8 cm from each other. Using one strip, also glued from the inside out, we fix the remaining two frames at the same distance. Place the first row of frames (fastened with two slats) on the plane at a distance of the same 8 cm above the second row (with one slat).

All that remains is to connect the resulting rows to each other with two slats, also using a glue gun. I repeat once again that all the work described above is carried out on the reverse (wrong) side of the frames. As you work, check the photographs to avoid making unnecessary mistakes.

For further work, we need to turn the resulting workpiece over. This must be done carefully, since at the moment the structure is still fragile. But don’t rush to worry about this, after you add “artistic forging”, the structure will be stronger.

Now we'll get to our extravagant ingredient: cardboard toilet paper rolls. You need to cut them into strips of 7 mm. Don't forget to check the photos! From one roll it will be necessary to cut longitudinal strips of 7 mm each for straight “forging” elements.

It's time for the most interesting thing -! We start by making the central flower. We wind a strip onto a pencil. Not very tight. Glue the tip so that the resulting curl does not straighten out. We leave one element round - the center of the flower, pinch 8 elements on two opposite sides - these are the petals of our flower. We assemble and glue together the central element. Now you need to give it time to dry. In the meantime, while the flower is drying, we will begin to assemble the pattern of our so-called forging.

We glue a circle made from prepared paper curls to the slats in the central part. As soon as the flower is dry, we attach it, also with glue, carefully to the center of our installation.

We continue to glue the paper curly blanks, creating a pattern. As soon as the pattern is completed on one side, it begins to mirror it on the opposite side. Before gluing the curl, attach it to the finished pattern to compare and if you need to add it or straighten it a little. And thus achieve a more accurate result, a mirror effect. Gradually and carefully we complete the pattern.

The final touch is to make a 3D flower. To do this, we make eight arrows with a forked end. Glue the arrows into the center with the forked tongues facing up. Now you need to carefully paint the resulting installation using white spray paint.

That's all! All that remains is to insert photos and place the work in a visible place! The result is a chic interior decoration. In addition, this decor turned out to be functional and has not only an aesthetic effect, but also has practical applications.

Have fun creating!
