Fig. 58.
A wall hook, suitable to hang a bird cage or fern dish, is shown in [Figure 56]. In [Figure 57] are shown the length and size of stock, and the piece ready to form. In making the ball, the piece is shouldered at one end by hammering it on the outer edge of the anvil as shown in [Figure 58]. It is then hammered on the corner, to make it round. The other end is drawn to a square point, and is then flattened as shown in [Figure 59], letting it become as wide as it will. This flat end is then veined suggesting a leaf form. In doing this, a long chisel, made round somewhat like a fuller, is used. The piece is heated, and a sunken line is made with the chisel, as shown by the drawing of the leaf end. The piece is then heated, and the leaf end is formed. The holes should now be drilled. The balance of the hook is heated and formed by hammering it over the horn of the anvil.
