Hi Sam great video quick question did you offset the nibs? Thanks

@@col925 thank you. Not really off set them, bent them to meet each other. Some 20mm square would of been better material to use, then you would have an offset jaw and the nibs would be inline. But I wanted to show some simple forging with minimal tooling.
