I do like the idea of sledge hammer, but i did ask for a block of 4140 steel as an anvil. Still, anything sounds better than my harbor freight ASO.

I will have to keep that in mind, thank you. Actually while i was looking for track i found a strange chisel, so i took it home and now use it as a hot cut

I live in Framingham, Massachusetts.

I was thinking I could just nail it to a stump facing down, so the flat side is upwards. Although the flat side of it is pretty bumpy. I only want to use these because I couldnt find rail where I live, so would these work, and if so, how should I take out the bumps in it?
