The work in forging naturally follows the working in wood. It may also, be coexistant with it in the shape of pattern making, which should be preceded by instruction in moulding. The work with the forge is much different from anything that has gone before, except clay modelling. No better place is afforded the pupil for testing his eye, sense of form, his judgment of dimension, quantity, skill of hand, etc.

It is hard and often discouraging work but at the same time fascinating and highly educating. Here a change is made in regard to drawing. In the previous work the pupils have worked from their own drawings made from the study of the model; but now they are to make models from the study of prepared drawings.
