Forging Table Legs with Jig

Description

So, I got a commission to make a simple but sturdy table base to feature a VERY expensive antique slab of stone.The major difficulty was the legs had a sort of dog leg and would require four bends.Here is the jig I made to reproduce the 4 legs from 1" solid round stock,and my partner making the last of four bends.If you look closely you can see the two outer crescent shapes in the form are attached by bolts so that they can be removed to get them out of the way for the first two inner bends which are done with the same heat.Hope that helps to make sense of the image.

what a great set up. Sometimes some processes take so much jig work. I've done a bit of metal work but not on this scale. Great photos of this process. Thanks.
