This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the Sand badge in Metalworking.

Sure you can buy nails these days but that's no fun.  Let's build our own nail making machine!

 
 

Here's a gentleman making a fancy one:


Minimum requirements:
  - Make a nail header plate
  - Forge 4 nails using it

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - The project underway
  - The completed project
  - 4 completed nails
 
It will give me the powers of the gods. Not bad for a tiny ad:
