HI wil141

I'm not sure where you can get the big ones but you can make your own easy if you have a torch, just heat the sq.rod up and with a big hammer and nail it a time or two then just turn it with a wrench ..then put it the vise and put on the mush room head with the hammer...

black smith time again

Maybe search antique or railroad spikes? Square landscape spikes? Timber nails possibly will return something.

Hi,

Try here: http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/pa...=3,41306,41324

You may also want to try Fastenal, or as Bj suggested make your own. Black Smiths are rare in the U.S.

Masonry nails can be square, and can be found in the 4" length, but I don't know about 8"

This is the closet I have found so far. Only 6" though, ask this person you never know he may have 8" also, just not listed.
