Hi All,
I have 2 brass spikes from an 1859 shipwreck. They are JUST large enough to turn into a slimline.
I have been staring at them in my shop for a year trying to get up the guts to drill and turn them, and as I am only going to get 1 shot at this, any and all tips, hints, ideas, and/or warnings would be greatly appreciated.
I have turned aluminum blanks with a carbide tipped chisel and am planning on using that for the brass. OR, just use a lot of sandpaper and shape it that way.
