Yesterday we had the chance to work with the technique of foldforming. Josh’s main spark of interest in foldforming came after purchasing Charles Lewton-Brain’s book “Foldforming.” This technique produces some incredible results. 
Josh started out with small sheets of copper. He took each sheet and folded it over onto itself. Then placed the copper sheet into the forge. Following the forge, it was submerged into water completing the annealing process. Once the sheet cooled down it was ready to be hammered and worked into the shape needed.
This technique was used for a gate being built for Tupper Homes. The initial plan was to use cast iron medallion, but Josh had the great idea of incorporating foldforming into this project to accent the gate. Stay tuned for photos of the finished and installed gate. It was a lot of fun working on all of this with Josh yesterday. I hope you enjoy. Please, feel free to ask any questions or let us know what you think in the comment section.
