Below are two cut lists, and an overview of the cuts used for each fold.
List #1 is just the essentials. This list does not allow for mistakes or redos, and only one example per fold.
List #2 includes cuts for some additional folds not included in list #1, and enough extra to practice folds multiple times. This list is in addition to list #1.

Along with the hammers Charles suggests from other sources (list to be emailed after registration) he is selling hammers he has adjusted for jewelry scale foldforming.
This is a nice 300g forging/planishing hammer. The weight and balance are good. One high polished face is finished for planishing, the cross peen has been carefully reshaped by me and is correct for foldforming work and fine quality metal forging. There is an extra bracing neck behind the hammerhead allowing heavier blows. I have refinished the faces to fine silversmithing standards. $60 plus $16 S+H in US funds.
