The nail chisel is largely forced through the wood, which creates material that springs back holding the nail. I will have to look into concrete nails that you describe, but these nails are fairly easy to make. I have a local blacksmith here in Vermont make mine.Douglas Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515886845098653363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379271667820721243.post-88058748300296344742017-09-01T02:25:50.473-07:002017-09-01T02:25:50.473-07:00Mr. Brooks, I'd love to see a video of the nai...Mr. Brooks, I'd love to see a video of the nail chisel in action. Any thought of doing one? It looks like there's no way to clear the debris from the hole. Do you just force on through? And, those large nails look a lot like large cut nails we use for concrete. I wonder if annealing some cut nails and bending the head over would make a close aproximation. JLFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08832672697941290935noreply@blogger.com
