Procedure to Be Followed in Making

Cut or clip a pattern, as shown in the diagram. Use manila paper.

Mark the shape on the metal and cut it with a pair of shears and a jeweler’s saw.

Clean the metal by scrubbing with fine pumice powder and water.

Planish the metal carefully.

Cut a forming block from a piece of 1-inch hardwood; size as shown by the broken line in the diagram.

Round one edge of the wood with a file.

Place the metal disk on the wood and hammer the edge of the metal over the rounded edge.

Finish the edge of the leaf by filing it smooth.

Wave the edge by gentle hammering.

With a blunt chisel and a chasing hammer (Fig. 1) vein the leaf.

Prepare and bend the ¼-inch round wire (Figs. 2 and 3).

Dvill the holes and rivet the handle to the leaf.
