Yes the video does explain the principle Jan and I suspect you are correct in proposing how it was done from a practical standpoint .using two sledges.
Turning the nail 180 degrees back on itself would be one matter but continuing the turn past 180 seemed a little trickier to me.

Small matters and questions often take up more of my time than they should. I appreciate the Exchange putting up with my neurosis.
