I have 6 of these, what should I make with them? Not interested

>>1079200
Forge them into a dildo

>>1079200

You should hammer one into each of your eyes so hopefully you won't come here asking bullshit again.

Go to zednoughtalpha's YouTube. You can see how to make an anvil using four and a cheap forge. Forge the others

Lots of rude assholes here. Interesting thread, I have a few of them as well and they are of some historical significance, but never really thought about doing anything with them before.

Where did you steal them from?

It's an offence to remove railspikes in the US and most of europe.

>old track is never removed or upgraded

>>1079256
I repeat, where did you steal them from?

>>1079258
Not OP but where I live when they replace the track or wooden ties they use new spikes. They just leave the old ones on the ground along with the old base plates. Sometimes you can find old brake shoes or suspension springs off of the cars too.

how much material is wasted there

Careful those bottles are bottom heavy there

Hey, that's a cool idea. I'm not a wine fan, but it looks good.

Crucify yourself

>>1079234
That's pretty cool! Thank you for the idea.

>>1079252
You can buy them at flea markets or on ebay. I got mine from random boxes of cheap flea market crap.

Bending them will be hard with just a propane torch.

>>1079336
Can you dig a shallow hole? Do you have access to charcoal (briquettes would do) and a hair dryer? It's 100% doable OP, and I think it's kind of cool.

Hi Eli

>Bending them will be hard with just a propane torch

MAPP gas is better for something like that. Torch heads that attach directly to a MAPP bottle run about $50, and sometimes you can buy them where it comes with a bottle to start too. Well worth it.

Enough to make sure trains don't derail due to railroad spikes snapping and sheering from metal fatigue from being reused over and over and over again.

That is pretty cool, but the bent hooks are of course cooler.

>>1079424
Neat!

>>1079412
this is recycling. op is recycling them.

>>1079420
>>1079421
yeah you dont need to bend them then, you just need access to a big high speed drill with proper hardened bits and a tap/die set usable on wrought iron

that thing looks like shit btw

>>1079278
More than you'll ever want. It's sad really.

>>1079431
you know you can usually just go to those places and they'll straight up give it to you, right
