Hi guys
Im currently working on my website, starting to develop a section with blacksmithing instructables. Have been thinking about simple items to make for beginners, that would include as wide a range of techniques as possible. Currently thinking about doing the first one on rivet / nail making (upsetting, spreading, drawring down in the case of the nails).
My question to the community is this : If you could recommend to your past self a practice item (or a group of practice items) to make when you first started out smithing (purely for the purpose of improving your skills) what would it / they be?
Many Thanks
