Tom Tongs Nail Headers

Being relatively new to the Blacksmith scene, only about a year seriously and having an old 1830’s mouse hole anvil ( pre - Pritchell ) for about the same time . Taking a few classes from a local historical forge , And having some “s “ hooks with a twist under my belt ., and having the opportunity to volunteer as a blacksmith apprentice ( I’m a 55 year old guy who has been in the building trade my whole adult life ) I find myself with the desire to get back to basics and learn nail making . The hammer control and discipline needed to become efficient at it will allow me to use these skills for my new chapter of colonial reenactment at the Brandywine Battlefield Forge . After doing my homework for a header .. I came across the name Tom Clark. As it worked out , I liked the idea of having a tool that will be able to be handed down through generations . This nail header is amazing, the glow of the tool steel with its cinnamon brown sheen and the sheer heft and finish will make it a fine addition to my endeavors. I highly recommend it to the novice and pro alike. Thanks Nick B.
