Very nice Job. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Forge lit. Keep Making. God bless.
..always enjoy watching tools being made and used. i have several of these floating around the shop and elsewhere, sometimes they are hard to find. Garage door coil springs make some good ones. it seems like they are harder and the point last longer. or maybe i just got a good one...
I've noticed a difference between coil springs and leaf springs, then again between modern springs and 50+ year old springs. This particular spring is off my 1968 Rambler American station wagon and is pretty reliable as far as being hard and not brittle. Edit: The faces on my nail headers were made with the rear leaves off the same car.
Clever solution from a coil spring. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

Thank you!
Unfortunately, I already know these are probably going to get lost pretty quick.
