I made this a few weeks ago with some of the nails I forged once I made my nail header. (See the thread [url="http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/topic/41664/Nailed-it"]here[/url])
I picked through the coffee can I put the nails in as I make them, found 2 good ones, filed a groove in each so they fit, and used a tig welder to fuse weld them together. Then I heated and quenched in oil for a black finish. After that I added a decorative wrap with some copper wire. As well as using the copper wire to attach it to the black paracord I hung it on.
I'm considering making more of these to sell while I'm stilling taking tig at the college (I don't have a tig machine at home). I was thinking $20 each, any interest?
(the backside where I soldered the copper wire)
On an aside, I had this little bundle of energy born on thursday. She's a full blood Lamancha dairy goat. I named her Aphrodite because of the heart birthmark she has on her nose.
