Still looking perfect. I used clay that need to be heated to dry.(Action store 99 cents) So I torched the wood from a distance. After sanding it was even better. Sealed it of with Danish Oil. And that makes it to stay in the wood.
...you must be using the wrong set of drill bits. Here is the correct oneI must be doing something wrong. Every time I drill a hole using my square drill bit it comes out round....
Wow, your anchors are so very well done. I tend to favor a more realistic look. Absolutely love the finish on the stocks. The thing that hooks me on them is the little bit of rust on the arms and flukes. It looks like the nail heads sit a little raised from the wood surface. Is that just an illusion or do they actually sit proud? Either way, I really appreciate the results.
They said people rarely use such a small diameter, it is not a common size for mass production. Go figure...Cute. Now where is the 0.5mm square drill bit?!?
Everything you see is an illusion, just flat. Even the arms and fluks are made of wood!
A dentist who doesn't understand how to drill square holes........ pricelessI must be doing something wrong. Every time I drill a hole using my square drill bit it comes out round...
You should tell them that this is a gap in the market. If I think about drilling another 3400 holes, that is certainly a mass production of holes.They said people rarely use such a small diameter, it is not a common size for mass production. Go figure...
You are doing such a great/fine job with your holes, I wonder if they ever would be bothered to make one. I think you should patent the way you are doing yours!

Stephan, I don't know how I missed this in your log. I need to go back and find where you made them and learn something valuable.
Good morning Ken, first a good new, here is the link to Patrick's La Renommee, he works with wood kit and shows it quite well in a few pictures. Maybe the article will help.
Square nails have the same advantage as square glasses: they do not leave unsightly circles on the surface.Welcome from the "Square Nails by Tobias is the real deal" studio!!!
Jim @Jimsk would say now, reminds me a bit of Tim Tailer from the series "listen who's hammering".
Well, after an intensive 2 days I've almost finished the side of the gunwale, in the bow area the dark reinforcements still have to be attached and also nailed in place, just like the second whale. At the stern I have not nailed the area where the bottle will later go.
