Usually I get mad at KZfaq blacksmithing videos. This one significantly less so. Those are the key operations, I can't argue (except of course with the myriad finer points, unnecessarily). To anyone watching this if the book reads like the video it's probably a decent buy for someone starting out.

who would make the nails, was it part of the skill progression...Were the Apprentices required to "master" nail making before any kind of other smithing... what was the progression, say A young lad was just setting out on his path to blacksmithing?

How are those iron "rods" made that the nails are cut from? Would it just be metal poured into molds for that usage?

Always remember to coat copper cookware/tableware they can leech copper into food if it is acidic and cause copper poisoning (yes copper is toxic in high concentrations)

If you taper the end you set down and thin it a little before you cut it it will be a lot easier to do the times of the fork. Just clean the tapers up a little and shape them. Done
