Meador
Sometimes blacksmiths use clay to plan-out how to make a tricky piece, clay having similar properties to red hot metal, but not the heat and, if you make a mistake, you just reform the clay and start again. Here Don Meador shows you how to do this - no expensive tools, as you can start with a small hammer, some clay and a block of wood. He then shows how to shape various items (hooks and the like), although the end result has no practical use.
