[TheForge] Blacksmithing Demo, Projects?

[Lynn Emrich]

Your comment about "making a sword" reminded me why we
always kept a box of duplex nails around. You don't
even have to heat them. Just flatten and they look
like a miniature sword!
Also using horse shoe nails you can make a quick and
easy spoon with a fancy handle.
