I am trying to somehow grind, mold, or melt little prong like edges into a piece of metal close to the size of a regular nail. I don't know if I could grind the pointed edges in, being that it would weaken the metal to much (but I still would try if I knew the right type of grinder). I am also thinking that I could somehow create a mold of the final product and melt the metal into it. I am currently trying to use steel, but if you know of a better metal, I would try that. I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to grind, melt, or create a mold.
Thanks!
irv has a good point but i'm having a problem with holding the nail to chisel it. i would try a pair of diagonal cutters and see where that goes. there are also a lot of attachments available for dremel tools and one of them is a very skinny 'cutting' wheel. you could come at it at an angle and hope for the best. but you will definitely need to practice to get the result you're after. as far as casting goes you would have to make one to cast the rest.
