I just watched a second time...how do you drill out for the tang? I so love the recycled elements in this project!

it sounds stupid but...I never considered taking real natural things as mould forming templates.
I mean seriously I made a tiny template from some copper...when I couldve just tried to find the irl thing.
fyi, it was a crab claw, made a copper crab claw from scratch, while looking at the real life examples and not even for a second thinking "I could just these"
2 days. I am a stupid.
