      No, there is zero chance of dangerous shrapnel from a small tap like this. Using a hammer like this as a drift to do something like: drive a large pin, yeah, dangerous and ill-advised. But, if you think tapping hammers like this is dangerous, I don't think you should be trusted to operate a hammer.

      @EvenTheDogAgrees Рік тому

      Tools: yes. Metal work: depends. Blacksmiths generally don't have the skills to work on car panels. Different type of metal working. I happen to have done both (although I'll be the first to admit my sheetmetal working skills are underdeveloped on account of the guys that taught me being more concerned with job protection than actual teaching), so I'm somewhat versed in both. My blacksmith friend who introduced me to knifemaking though, has absolutely zero skills when it comes to car body work. I'm sure he could learn; it's not rocket science, after all. But his blacksmithing skills are not really transferable to sheet metal work.

    If all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail.
    I loved this, a nice break from the usual, makes me want to go and build something in the shed.

      Actually, blacksmiths rarely strike nails with their hammers. Unless they're forging nails, obviously. 😂
      And yes, all joking aside: there are actually good use cases for forged nails as opposed to store-bought round ones. A good nail is not round, but has a square, wedge shaped profile, kind of like a chisel. You nail it in across the wood grain, which ensures you don't push the fibers apart and risk splitting the wood. The reason all nails are round these days is not because it's a better shape, but simply because it's far, far cheaper to make.
