Thanks for the info.
Yes...I've made lots of nails! The method demo'd is different to the one I've been taught to use, but then I have struggled to get the shank in the middle of the head! Got there in the end as my tutor insisted on accuracy and consistency of strike! Quite good at horsehoe nails now. :wink:
Looking forward to your video - do you have photos of the tools you've made too? Presumably the punch is tempered? To what degree?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
