The principles used for blanks hammered by hand can be appliedto almost any form that will arise, as, for example, in the case shownin Fig. 346, in which A and B represent circular leader heads; or inthat shown in Fig. 347, in which A and B show two styles of balusters,a and b (in both) representing the square tops and ba

Anotherexample is that of a round finial, as in Fig. 348, A showing the hoodwhich slips over the apex of the roof. AMiile these forms can bebought, yet in some cases where a special design is brought out by thearchitect, it is necessary that they be made by hand, especially whenbut one is required. The last problem on handwork is shown in Fig. 349—that ofobtaining the blanks for the bottom of a circular bay. The curvedmoulding A will be hammered by hand or by machine, as w
