Upsetting a railroad spike



Before and after shots. We drift and harden tomorrow. And start forge welding...

    I don't know when I'll get the forge fired up again, But when we get it fired up and get one of the RR/S Tomahawks made, I'll try and post a picture of here. Thanks for the quick reply...Tom- Woodlawn Tn...
