How to Forge a Nail Header
Рет қаралды 3,632
8 ай бұрынWhat's up everybody? This week, I am showing you how I forge a nail header so that you can make your own nails for any projects you want to make with them! This was a great little project, and while I don't finish both headers that I start in this video, I plan to make one for very fine-sized nails in the future. Thanks for watching!

Nice header but as an old timer who worked under a hammer in 1965 If you have to draw metal out put it over your horn and use a rounding hammer.! Lots faster.. Again-nice simple header

I think I did during this project, but I might not have shown a lot of it. Great tip! Thanks for watching.

Damn that anvil bounces a lot. Secure it so you dont loose so much energy. I put silicone on the bottom to reduce the noise and then make brackets to screw over the feet.

Yeah, many factors have gone into the stand I was using in my videos mostly revolving around not having my own space and moving frequently. I am working with what I can at the moment and will improve when I have a more permanent location. Thanks for the tips!

I Saw Cliff's name on your anvil. Are you near his shop? Love to get together with you if you are. I'm just down the road and it would be a blessing for me to find someone close by.

No such luck. Haha. I just ordered one of his anvils a few years ago from Centaur Forge's website and have used it for most of my videos.
