Winston Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I am new and slowly reading through everything I can find about blacksmithing. In the mean time I am cleaning out my shop from old hobbies. I have axle shafts, leaf springs, and coil springs. I have read of people using some these but I was wondering if there was a list of what each was good for. Also is there anything else that would come off a truck that could be usefull? I did not want to throw away anything usefull. Thanks.

ChrisB Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Coils springs convert them to punches and chisels. That's on my list for this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
