This project ties together some of the recent 'Getting Started' videos, and gives the smith a chance to practice punching and drifting on round bar. There are forged balls (previous video) a tenon (previous video[s]), as well as the required hand tools such as: hand-held fuller, slot punches, drifts, simple guillotine tool, monkey tool etc. A nice practice project.
This video is part of an ongoing community effort to move blacksmith education online during the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope that you are staying healthy.
