Picked up a dozen hiking the railroad tracks yesterday. Seems I ought to be able to do something creative with them. I usually don’t create purely for art’s sake, I want it to be practical.
I can wire wheel the rust off but can’t heat it enough to work that way.
My stepfather has made knives out of railroad spikes. Apparently it takes a super long time tho. He didn’t have an actual forge and just used the hottest burning blowtorch he could get to heat the metal.
