Make a tough mini pin punch from junk

[xynudu]

Here's a simple lathe project you can do.

It covers turning, knurling, and grinding.

Fantastic use of hardened steel concrete nails and a great looking tool. Thanks for the posting and I am a fan of your YouTube channel.

Hi Paul.

I like the idea of this forum, and as I have a couple of suitable projects, I thought I might as well post one.

Will add a couple more later.

Cheers Rob

Now you and myself can make a nice rack of different sizes punches. Very nice workmanship, enjoyed your video.

Thanks Rob, I have a full box of Hilti cartridge nails and never could figure what to use them for, now I know at least one good idea.
Always enjoy your relaxed style of videos, no silly music just seems as though we are stood next to you.

You can make some damn fine miniature chisels from cut nails, too...
