Forged products - a second wind.

There was a time, and without forging people did not do. The century began when it began, there immediately appeared forges. Where blacksmiths could forge an ax, forge a blade. And they reached this perfection in this business, that their forged products were already considered a work of art. The same damask steel, I think, is widely heard.

No less than such applied subjects, people and interior items were needed. Or the gates are different there, gratings. In the same castles, temples.

In the temples, there were many expensive objects of worship, for which, without appropriate protection, unfair eyes stared.

And how do you make a grate without welding? Yes, connecting the same bars with clamps, on hot. Or another tricky trick - you need to pierce one rod to another. To do this, in the bar that permeates, you need to make a hole, and also it must be riveted in this place before that, so that it becomes wider. And do you imagine if you need to penetrate several rods at once, how difficult is it to make such a lattice? The most complicated forged products!

Clamps are simpler, and this method has spread everywhere. From here and went - there is a yoke, then the trellis forged. No clamp - welded. I'm talking about modern products and concepts.

And many people even consider the simplest lattice of a square to be forged. Very logical. After all, in the old days where to take a square? Yes, it should have been made in advance by the smith. From some kind of squiggle, for example - from the strip that stood on the rim of the wheel of the cart.

Until recently, there was nothing in our country (sex, they say, too, but the population grew.) Probably, it's not sex now, since the population dies). Well, grids, especially other forged products, a Soviet man never saw anywhere, except in a foreign film. And I did not realize that very soon everything around would be cracked. Including with the help of blacksmiths.

And who has not yet collided personally, remember. The square is exactly the material of steel as the building fixture. Well, except that it is easier to bend, because the brand has become soft. That is, it is a square bar. It can be purchased today at any metal base. And forging has to do with the square is exactly the same as for the same fixture. That is, absolutely no.

From a square without any forging, you can make excellent modern gratings. There are drawings of lattices from the square, which I personally like more than any complex forging.

And who needs forged products - forged grating, forged fence or gates, today, in the Internet age, can perfectly prepare for a conversation with a blacksmith.

I know a simple truck driver who organized a forged fence, a gate, and now he also does the visor. Although he never approached the blacksmith's hammer, he does not know what to press there.

He acted very simply. First, I downloaded a lot of photographs and drawings of forged products from the Internet, and went to look for a blacksmith. In winter, the blacksmiths work less, so they made a set of fence parts and a gate for him. And he gathered all this together already himself with the help of a neighbor PTU-shnik, who is studying for a welder. And everyone is happy, the boy is especially - and practiced, and he earned himself the ice cream.
