This list has been pretty quiet for a while, so I thought I'd at least say something in blacksmithing. Anyway, I have been working on my gothic domed chest again and it's getting closer. As part of that activity, I have had to prepare a bunch of parts to be riveted to the hinges and I am using nails for the rivets.
This page shows common nails specs and makes some comments on how to use them (or pieces of them) for rivets. No rocket science here, it's just that nails are handy ways to obtain stock in small sizes.
