i am looking to start my own forge and i have seen many videos on the subject. I found yours the most interesting and informative. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to more videos in the future. by the way B. Dean sent me to your channel. I am glad he did.
Great video! Is that hammer the peddimghaus Swedish Picard? If so how has the handle held up? After 3 sessions in the forge my Picard hammer head has started to come loose
Thank you! Yes, it is the Swedish pattern peddinghaus. I have had it for about ten years. The handle has cracked, but I have a wire wrap around the crack to keep it together. Periodically, I soak all of my hammers in water to keep the heads tight. I then oil them down with linseed oil to keep the wood from cracking.

You forge a taper on an iron rod that will fit in the small square hole to the length of the nail you want. Cut off the small taper approximately 3/8" from the point where you want the length of the nail to be. Then while the iron is still hot drive down creating a head of the nail. Please see the next video in the series to see the process. Thank you for watching!
Yeah, I wanted to do a vote but youtube won't let me yet. Some people have said they like it and some not. Personally I would rather leave it out but I was afraid it would be too boring.
Great looking nail header. It's big enough you could put a couple of holes for different size nails.
Thank you! That was the idea. I neglected to mention it in the video.

Thank you! My goal is to help as many people as I can learn the craft.
Oh I enjoyed watching you I would’ve liked to seen you what you do with the nail punch I’ve never seen one so I’ll be watching God bless
I will try to add that to a future video. Thank you for watching!

Good!
I will be your subscriber #38
Thank you!
@@davidbucklen-blacksmith5402 you welcome! And good luck!!
You cannot believe that you didn’t demonstrate at least one or two nails with your new header
Check out this video to see the header in use. I hope you like it! th-cam.com/video/aSXYuAQPEbs/w-d-xo.html
Уважаемый мастер, может надо было провести закаливание металла вокруг отверстия?
A36 is mild steel. It wouldn't really harden even if it was heat treated. It's also not really needed for this application.

It is not necessary. If you were to desire a more tough tool, then use an air hardening steel.
How is it used?

Nice project. The music was a bit much and totally necessary.
