Nail Header From A Rail Road Spike
Making a nail header was one of the first tools I ever made and it's a great project for a beginner blacksmith. With a nail header you'll be able to make your own hand forged nails which are a classic blacksmithing skill.

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.
Thanks Philip!
You walked me through making one of these during an open forge night, and I've gotten a *ton* of use from it. Nails are such a great beginner project, they're one of the quickest things you can produce as a beginner blacksmith, and they're great practice for skills you'll use when making lots of other things. Not to mention the nails themselves are super useful, I've used a good dozen or so as simple hooks in my workshop, very satisfying to get use out of a simple project I made myself!
Very nice job. Love watching and learning from your videos and other great blacksmiths. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.

I messed up on the uploads and accidentally had this one go live for about 5 minutes a week before it was supposed to. I think that kept it from hitting everyone's subscription notifications when it did go live.

I have 4 swage blocks currently. The two big ones are unknown maker and no longer being produced as far as I know. The smaller ones are from blacksmith depot and Jigoku forge out of Garland Texas.

@@WatersIronworks Thanks sooo much for the info.....the small ones is exactly what I was looking for.
The problem I always have with "next video" is HOW DO I FIND IT???
Is there any evidence that they forged something similar to a ring shanked nail?

Not that I've ever seen. I would be pretty surprised if they did. It seems time consuming and expensive to make them by hand. Maybe someone cut some barbs on a nail but I also haven't seen evidence of that.
