making a copper pressure flaker part 1

[Account0997]

Nice process on structural hardening. That is actually a nice process for metal working.

Excellent video, covered every detail in the process.

also without spinning copper, would a nail help?...if so what should i look for.

[rafire34]

is there a simpler way to make it? as in without drilling into steel...

@rafire34

Copper works the best. If you do a search you can find copper nails on the net. Just beat a nail into a broom handle and shape a tip. The copper doesnt last long and the handle will eventually break, but it would get you started. You can try a set screw to hold your copper but being tapped into soft wood it wont hold long.

Great Idea. Amazing. How did you come up with that? The hardening part using the drill?
