Small steps grasshopper..My forge is close (brake drum) just haven't had a lot of time. Patience on the other hand, I must say I suprised myself by not rushing out and spending a lot of money. I'm walking the tracks Friday with a former City Councialmen. He's an old neighbor, former Marine (I know, I know, ALWAYS A MARINE.lol) and I don't think we'll get into trouble..lol..He's a great guy, believes in the old ways, like I do. I'm going to try and find some spikes and maybe even some track, if we can lug it back to the truck that is..Only a small piece, big enough for an anvil. Any suggestions on size? Fried the ol lady's hair dryer on accident..lol..don't ask. Let's just say I learned what resistors are used for now..lol..
