Forging a simple cabinet handle or drawer pull - basic blacksmithing

Using the custom swedge I will look at forging a simple cabinet handle with bean finials. Don't have the swedge? I will also show the forging of the handle free hand. The handle is then filed and bent to shape. Simple forged hardware items are a great project to develop you skills as a blacksmith. Thank you for watching.
