Great looking nail header. It's big enough you could put a couple of holes for different size nails.

Thank you! My goal is to help as many people as I can learn the craft.

Great video! Is that hammer the peddimghaus Swedish Picard? If so how has the handle held up? After 3 sessions in the forge my Picard hammer head has started to come loose

Thank you! Yes, it is the Swedish pattern peddinghaus. I have had it for about ten years. The handle has cracked, but I have a wire wrap around the crack to keep it together. Periodically, I soak all of my hammers in water to keep the heads tight. I then oil them down with linseed oil to keep the wood from cracking.

Oh I enjoyed watching you I would’ve liked to seen you what you do with the nail punch I’ve never seen one so I’ll be watching God bless

You cannot believe that you didn’t demonstrate at least one or two nails with your new header

Уважаемый мастер, может надо было провести закаливание металла вокруг отверстия?

A36 is mild steel. It wouldn't really harden even if it was heat treated. It's also not really needed for this application.

​@@wodenphotoЯ сделал похожее приспособление для изготовления гвоздей из мягкого металла. При изготовлении гвоздей расплющил металл вокруг отверстия, когда формировал шляпку гвоздя.

It is not necessary. If you were to desire a more tough tool, then use an air hardening steel.

How is it used?

You forge a taper on an iron rod that will fit in the small square hole to the length of the nail you want. Cut off the small taper approximately 3/8" from the point where you want the length of the nail to be. Then while the iron is still hot drive down creating a head of the nail. Please see the next video in the series to see the process. Thank you for watching!

Skip the music

Yeah, I wanted to do a vote but youtube won't let me yet. Some people have said they like it and some not. Personally I would rather leave it out but I was afraid it would be too boring.

Nice project. The music was a bit much and totally necessary.
