Hi
I was at a SWABA meeting this year and saw a nail puzzle making tool that a member had brought in, the tool had a lever, cam, and base to hold the nail. The tool looked more complicated than it needed to be and the result varied so the nails after being bent had to be tweeked to work. When I got home (Minnesota) I designed a tool for the nail puzzles that I think is much simpler and repeats the bends so no tweeking is necessary. I built several of these tools and sent one to a member of SWABA for their evaluation. Attached are a couple of pictures, keep in mond that this is set to use #16 box nails, if different nails are used the tool nail nest will have to be adjusted accordingly by bending up or down.
