Step 16 Shiny Nail Heads Mark Distance on Floor

At Pastime Hardware in Albany California, they have a giant ruler on the floor, made by pounding in nails to form the numbers and lines.

They use it to measure rope, wire, etc for customers.

The shiny nail heads look really nice and old-timey.
You could do other types of artwork this way also.
