hello! i am making tiny swords for a while now, and i thought i should share them. they are made with a specific type of nail, and, as i'm dutch and teenager, i don't know how to call them yet. you see them on the first picture.
description: the nail get's shaped by hammer, to make it look like a sword. actually the nail itself looks like a sword too. it is pretty cool to give to your little brother/kids. i use them for little trophy's i make for my friends.
you see the specific nails and the tools needed, right below these words. and yes, the third picture shows a tool with an almost finished product. you should have some iron wire too.
let us begin...

find some good solid iron, to hammer on. (something like an anvil)
i use the little flat space on my bench vice, on picture 4. now take your nail, hold it with everything but your fingers, place it on the solid iron, and hammer it. it will look like the left nail on picture one. then, nail the handle hard enough. if you hammer the handle too hard, it will break. and that's what you're gonna do. take the iron wire too, as on picture two. picture three: you hammered the handle off, and are replacing it with the iron wire.
