Finials all cut...

I managed to get a little bit of forge time after work today.  I pretty much just finished cutting the finials.  The photo shows all 4 as well as the bolster plate used for punching the holes.  The look a little rough right now.  From my previous experience they start looking nicer as I punch the hole and especially once I do the file work.

I also cut and formed a punch for use on the finials.  I have that annealing right now.  Since the punch was cut from an old car coil spring, I like to anneal it to help get any stress out of the metal.

Not that much otherwise but I am making progress.
