Title: New nail notcher
Post by: Tracker0721 on January 05, 2021, 09:30:03 am

Decided I would pass on my old nail notcher so I carved out a new one for myself. I actually really like it. Took maybe 5 minutes to whittle out the shape and then I stupidly cut my piece off first so to fit the copper ring it took a bit more work than it needed trying to hold em together and scrape em separately.

I’m going to have to try one of those.

I've seen Bob use a nail to notch with he gets thin deep notches in his points

Do you flatten the nail tip or leave it a point? I really like that idea!
