you forge your taper square, then break the corners lightly, then chisel a groove centered on each of the 4 faces then twist.

Ho damn, sir. I am impressed. I need to get to forging. Oh wait, it's monsoon season. Nevermind.


Seriously though, VERY nice. I rarely see such even twists on forged work.
