Common Nails for Rivets / Always the right length

Everyone has a bucket of rusty bent common nails. I regularly use these for rivets. They are free, plentiful, and I can make them whatever length I need. They are not always the answer but most of the time they do the trick. In this video I show how I repurpose these nails, cut and install them. In this case I am making ladles but I have used these for many other projects as well. Beckett’s Blacksmithing At Beckett’s Blacksmithing I specialize in hand forged products and custom decorative ironwork. I use traditional tools and methods and heat my steel in a coal fired forge. In addition to this, I use modern tools such as welders, power tools, and gas torches to bring this ancient trade into the modern era.
