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?
 
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.
 
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 :o Don't think I've ever made one. A W2 spike knife sounds cool... I'll see what I can do.
 
Damn!
Good one, Mr. Lisch! Bravo dude:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
this is going to be awesome.
 
Thanks for the offers, I went the ebay option ;) Hopefully they arrive with enough time for me to get something going.
 
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.

Looking good Dave I figured you would be chiseling a face on yours, I am hoping to start on mine Monday or Tuesday.
 
This is going to be interesting! Cool idea Dave:thumbup:I can't wait to see what the creative minds here come up with!
 
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.
