Matthew D Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Made a shoe horn from a railroad spike. It works really great. I was going for a forged-to-finish look. On my last heat I brushed it really well to remove scale and quenched it to toughen it some. Only grinding I did was around the edges to shape it a little better and drilled a hole to put a leather thong in. Then I sanded it with some fine sandpaper to finish it up. First attempt with improvements to come. Fun project and something that will get used every day and last a lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
