Demonstrator Alair Wells

Demonstration: Tooling Up

“We will make a round and square punch, heat treat it then use those tools to make a pair of calipers and a nail header. Then we will make our own nails.
I will bring an assortment of hand tools that I’ve made and use often and offer the option for folks to make what they need. We will not be making hammers, there won’t be time for that.”
