anvil Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Cool. learning how to make most anything over the edge of the anvil before using a jig or a die is the best way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natkova Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Is it harmful for vise to pound nail on it? I saw it that someone make nail like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Depends on the vise. A leg or blacksmiths vise will be fine, as they are designed for that. A machinists vise will not live long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles R. Stevens Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 You can do almost anything thing with just a hammer and anvil. The nail set makes things just a bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
