This is an excellent intermediate level tutorial. Blacksmith Douglas Alexander Toledo from the Blacksmith of Trenton shows us from start to finish how to make a good looking ornamental Ram’s head. There are many new techniques in this video and I show you the whole process from start to finish.
Special thanks go to Sasha and Daniel who are both Master blacksmiths from the Blacksmith of Trenton and to Douglas the blacksmith who does this project for us.

There are several different techniques that he shows us during this video including: Curling, tapering, splitting and forge welding.
