[@apodski]

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]

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.

[@corinkayaker]

@@EvenTheDogAgrees so true. If you want a panel to look like your car had a cuddle with a tree, I am your man. However if you want small accurate components made I am pretty good at that.

It's funny how hard it was for me to wrap my head around phases of iron and heat treatment methods when I was in materials engineering class and in 35 seconds this man just explained the fundamentals in a way anyone can understand. What a legend.

[@CountPantsulon]

That's probably because they were teaching the "why" when all you need to know is the "what." (The "why" is quantifiable, which lends itself to relaying specifications for mass production at a remote location, while the "what" is a learned skill.)

[@jdselders8010]

@@CountPantsulon I disagree, I think we just needed the lab to take place concurrently instead of weeks later so we could observe and measure the changes in hardness, toughness, and brittle fracture characteristics to make it stick. The point of my comment was just to compliment how clearly and succinctly he explained the process of manipulating the grain structure of metal in a way that was easy to understand even with no context and without holding back technical concepts like the crystaline structre, austenite, martensite, etc.

[@CountPantsulon]

@@jdselders8010 That's a fair point. I'm familiar with the difficulty one can encounter when there's too much time between theory and practical classes, having encountered that during my apprenticeship program. I agree that he summed it up beautifully.

For me, I’ll try most things and if I fail at it (I try not to get too frustrated…) then at least I learned something for the next time I try it. Anyways 👍🏼

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.

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

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.

[@bloodynoobtubename]
