Made this out of a railroad spike yesterday…

It took 5 hours and looks like shit, but I’m still a beginner. I was able to get it sharp enough to cut paper so it is mildly useful.

But the steel used for these is pretty much a shitty grade anyway. 

Much, much more to learn. It’ll take years if I choose to keep going.

That's cool!
If SHTF. Blacksmithing skills will be of great value after the EMP attacks black out America's grid for several years.

[junkyarddawg]

Not THAT'S pretty damn cool!

[Rogasingingdawg]

That’s a good restoration!

Nice, Junk! I got a friend that makes those. The trick is to find the good RR spikes with the right metal.
At least that’s what he told me when I brought him a 5 gallon bucket of spikes.
