Novel nail and method of use for string art

Abstract

A novel nail comprising a head, a shank extending from the head, a point extending from the shank opposite the head, and a projecting surface extending around and away from the shank at a predetermined distance from the head and a method of using a plurality of the novel nails, a substrate, and an elongated article of manufacture to make string art.

1 . A nail comprising:
 a head;   a shank extending from the head;   a point extending from the shank opposite the head; and   a projecting surface extending around and away from the shank at a predetermined distance from the head wherein a portion of the shank between the head and the projecting surface and the portion of the shank between the projecting surface and the point have different surfaces.   
     
     
         2 . The nail of  claim 1  wherein the portion of the shank between the head and the projecting surface is smooth and the portion of the shank between the projecting surface and the point includes threads. 
     
     
         3 . A method of using a plurality of nails and a substrate wherein each nail comprises a head, a shank extending from the head, a point extending from the shank opposite the head; and a projecting surface extending around and away from the shank at a predetermined distance from the head, the method comprising:
 penetrating the plurality of nails into the substrate until the projecting surface of each novel nail engages the substrate; and   winding an elongated article of manufacture around the shaft of a plurality of the nails extending above the substrate to make string art.
