macbruce Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Not wanting to risk a visit from the jack booted RR Dicks or be vaporized by a patrolling drone from homeland security for my handfull of spikes that I picked up at a level crossing, I've found a solution......... I have taken to making my own............ Ya never know, the RR could turn em into IED'S.........Now what to make out of it????................:rolleyes: Quote
dablacksmith Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 i know you can buy new ones... but thant spike looks good might see if you can make um for the rr company..... :) Quote
Francis Trez Cole Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 the good thing about making your own rr spike as you can pick a steel that will make a knife that will make a good blade and hold a good edge. nice work and a good idea. Quote
KST1-Derek Fultz Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Looks good Macbruce. Out at SOFA a couple of years ago there was one in the gallery someone made of Damascus. Yep, a Damascus rail road spike. Interesting project. -Derek Quote
ThomasPowers Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Billy Merritt did the pattern welded RR spike. As I recall, JPH once mentioned making a file from a knife... Sort of in the "Man bites Dog" scheme of things. Quote
macbruce Posted June 7, 2011 Author Posted June 7, 2011 Damascus RR spikes...................And I thought I had too much time on my hands!........Whatever floats yer boat Quote
