Hi Dennis,

Would LOVE to see photos. I tried hammering my nails today and they are large- 4-1/2" long and I don't have a heavy enough hammer- have to raid my husband's side of the storage room for an appropriate hammer- what do YOU use and what would you suggest I get to pound the heck out of iron and steel??

Dennis,

Love these projects! I just found this project:

Which of course made me order a bunch of iron nails! I already have some horseshoe nails, so I'm going to try your projects, too.

Tell me- did you have to anneal the nail in between steps??
