another rabbit hole I'm starting down...

Looking good, Mike!

 

Thanks Connie. I still have a Case Canoe in my pocket. (thanks to you)

 

Nice work, Mike!
Keep the pics coming, nice following your forging journey with you.

 

Finally. A food/bbq related item. A steak turner made out of a rail spike. Spike head retained so you can tell what it was. Had to draw out the 5/8 inch cross section down to a point. Fun but more work than I'd anticipated.

 

Nice!

 

Nice Mike..make mine med rare.

 

Thanks Gents. Jim, I'm thinkin you'll be ok with rare.

 

That looks like something I really "need". Not so much for turning steaks, but just because it looks so cool!

 

Thanks Connie. I appreciate it.

 

Another nice piece, Mike!

 

thanks
Warren. Here is another rail spike project. not as well executed as the steak turner, but made from one rail spike. 20 inches long. I have learned what is meant by long drawn our process.

 

What is it Mike?

 

I thought it would be a good grill fork or wiener roaster. tines are a little blocky though

 

Oh I see it now.. on my phone I could not see the tines.
I thinks its great.

 

Anything new from the forge @MotoMike?

 

I have been doing a few things. Sorry for not posting. Since I'm not yet up to making kitchen knives (my ultimate goal) was holding off. I needed a grinder. Here is how I addressed that need. It' pic heavy.

 

Bravo Mike!

Love it.

 

Thanks Jim. The rabbit hole is deep...

 

I would love to have a belt grinder like that. It seems that is an essential tool needed for iron working efficiency.

 

I would not be able to do that around my cars.
