Jon.... just take a 10 minute walk along the tracks near where you live and you'll find plenty.

I used to do track work, and you get paid to pound spikes in place, not pick them up..... so there's always strays laying around.

I'm really looking forward to what you guys come up with :thumbup:

Nick I think that Dave laid down a direct challenge to the two of use. Aren't you going to step up?

 

[NickWheeler]

Ah crap, I missed that somehow... LOL

If I had more shop time and my orders caught up I'd jump on it.

I almost talked the school into letting me bring some forging stuff to the school to do a demo.... that would have been a perfect time. Unfortunately politics prevailed and I got the big veto.

What's the deadline for this???

End of the month Nick there's a lot of time. Jon if you have no track's near you let me know and I will shoot 2 or 3 out to you. I put a big hit on mine today should be able to post monday night. hay john White I see you looking come on out and play.

 

[Don Hanson III]

I could not wait I started mine Today. Bill B come on nick what's up Kyle do you need a spike. Don you could make a spike out of W2 then make a knife out of it. the more makers that join in the cooler the prize. And there will be a cool prize for the spike king.

I guess I've been called out. Dave I didn't know what you were talkin about (spike knife) until I got further into the thread Don't think I've ever made one. A W2 spike knife sounds cool... I'll see what I can do.

 

[Lorien]

Damn!
Good one, Mr. Lisch! Bravo dude:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
this is going to be awesome.

 

[Jon Walker]

Thanks for the offers, I went the ebay option Hopefully they arrive with enough time for me to get something going.

 

[D lisch]

Thanks Don this is going to be fun.

 

[D lisch]

It is Saturday and I am going in to work on my spike knife but I thought I would post what I have done to the spike so far. Maybe get some good ol boy blood pumping.

 

[Mike Turner]

Looking good Dave I figured you would be chiseling a face on yours, I am hoping to start on mine Monday or Tuesday.

 

[John M Cohea]

This is going to be interesting! Cool idea Dave:thumbup:I can't wait to see what the creative minds here come up with!

 

[D lisch]

Well I got one done and I will show it but it did not come out as well as I would have hoped. that's OK I learned from this one and second one thought me a pit and my 3rd one well I will show it on monday there is a lot more to it then I thought. So laugh at this if you must there is a better one coming.

 

[severedthumbs]

Delish, this is a good idea.

 

[J.KNIGHT]
