Materials 2

Just a small pile of odds and ends that might work well for the hammer.


This is a chunk of railroad track that I am thinking will work well for my forging dies. I have never seen this done before, but am willing to try. I know track has been used many times for a makeshift anvil. I will need to build up the sides for impact. Also, I think I can use Rob Gunthers Super Quench to harden the dies.


I was able to remove the turnbuckle without too much problem. I can re-thread the rod and it will be as good as new.
