rasklking Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The weather here in SoCentral PA finally made the turn towards fair weather allowing me the chance to go for a walk in the woods behind my work. What do I find? Two large piles of railroad spikes. Each pile consists of roughly 200 spikes and various other pieces of RR iron. I talked to the boss about'em and told him that I'd get rid of'em and he asked if I needed a work truck to do it. SCORE! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasklking Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 You did use the work truck, right? Whatcha gonna make with 'em? I started loading'em up and taking them home in stages....that's a lotta weight! Most of these have the "HC" on their heads so I see t-hawks, knives, and all sorts of tools and the like in the future. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentiron1946 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Nice find on a walk in the woods, better than a dead hog I guess :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Keep an eye out for the rail clips---the rectangular cross section ampersand like things. *Much* better an alloy for bladed items and tools than HC spikes that are at most at the bottom boundary between medium carbon steel and mild steel!
