[TheForge] nail header question

[Stephen Viola]

Actually this has just been a question recently addressed locally.
There was a group of us messing about forging nails, and it seemed
that the group was split as to which way to place the nail. I was for
the [/ \] style although there were others who preferred the [\ /]
way. Both seemed to work fine and none of us had any difficulties. So
although there might be a right way of doing things I doubt if any
blacksmith here will tell you not to do it if it works for you. So we
agreed to disagree!
