Pat B:
Wayne, here is a pic of the railroad spike hawk that Bobby Keller, a friend made for me...







TSA:
that is awesome Pat, i love the poll, it makes it so much more practical in and around the camp!
i love the overall shape!
being low carbon, how did you find it holds an edge .
when i get my forge welding figured- might be awesome to weld in a good cutting edge.
 i really like that!!!

TSA:
Dylan, what would your recommendation be for size of the 1080 stock that would work a bit better if the 1" by 1" was a wee bit too small, as much as 1.5"??

dylanholderman:
I would think 1.25 or 1.5 should be a good size. You don’t want to go to big or it’ll be a bear getting it forged out

dylanholderman:
Also just wanted to add that I recommended 1080 because it’s heat treat is simple and it will get glass hard really easy
