Let me show you our first test of making such a forged element into our shop.This is not cast or grind or fabricated it is forged under a power hammer. I consider  this element to be quite complex if you keep in mind the final shpape that it needs to become. Considering that this is the first try to do such a forged element into our shop with the dies also made in our shop i consider this picket a good job. A few more finishing touches to the power hammer die are needet and than we are going to start producing this forged element. As you can see in the pictures the picket can also be made out of square and round steel  bar. I will come back to this post showing you the final shape of the picket.This picket we will be using to decorate a wrought iron balustrade

The first to tests are shown here:
