Mr. Woolery:
I’ll be on board Saturday, gods willing. Been super busy and the weather is still too cold. Supposed to be above freezing by the weekend, though.
Forgive me if you already covered it, but how do you prefer to put the bend in? Over a male form like the anvil horn or a female form like a swage block?

Doesn't really make a difference. Around the horn will give a nice curve. I use a cylinder that mounts in my hardy for turning sharp curves. Just keep in mind, whatever curve you make needs to be able to be sharpened at some point.
