BlasterJoe Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Very cool video. I'm definitely going to use some of those techniques. The skull head nail looks like a lot of work to smack with a hammer. Do you have special projects for those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just a cool project to show that more then boring nails (nails aren't boring to me ) can be made with a nail header.. I took about 3-4X longer to make anything on the videos since they are supposed to be learning or instructional videos and going to fast would detract from their usefulness. A door with edging I thought would look pretty cool with skull nails.. Someone could make all sorts of faces and such.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlasterJoe Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I just noticed the rest of the instructional videos on the forum. I will be checking them out. This one was very helpful for me. I'm about a year into smithing and have a lot to learn. Thanks for posting these. I really like the pip feature. thats a good idea for the skull heads as long as they are driven into something soft. Maybe something you could put through a predrilled hole and bend it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
