mike-hr Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I've been goofing with rrspikes lately. I made the handle first, then split the tip and cleft welded in a bit made from leafspring surrounded by thin sawblade. It hardened up real good in french fry oil, etched in ferric chloride.http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j50/mike-hr/spike6_zps07596e86.jpghttp://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j50/mike-hr/spike3_zps5fd0fadf.jpgmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
