dvm27 Posted August 20, 2013 Share #6 Posted August 20, 2013 Your workmanship is very Dr. Mike-like, Alexy, and I can't think of a better complement. Is that a butter knife, razor or what?

Aleksei Domanov Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted August 21, 2013 Alexey great job! One question only: the cutting edge is symmetrical, so it creates a 'head' on both ends of the shank. What do you do with the end where no head is needed? Did you try this with a non-symmetrical cutting edge so it does not create a head on the end where it should not? Janos just cut it using wire-cutter or scissors.

Sandor Laza Posted July 26, 2018 Share #22 Posted July 26, 2018 Thank you for sharing this! The set of nails coming with my current kit have uneven heads and they look kind of ugly on the model. I was looking for nails with round head, but couldn't find a supplier. I never believed that I can make my round headed nails so easily! Thank you again!!!
