hand forged hobnails

[Dean Cunningham metalsmit]

Here is a you tube video I found that shows the basic process. The only difference is I use smaller round stock and I use a punch to form the head. Please note: I NEVER recommend leaving your hot cut in the hardy while using the anvil for another process. It can quickly lead to disaster and it is a good habit to get into to remove it before using the anvil for something other than cutting. I intend on making a video of my process when I return home in a week.
