200-year-old Minecart track forged into steak flippers? Ancient gold mine rail Blacksmithing
Hello all, I know Tuesday is kind of an odd day to upload for me, however the opportunity presented itself and I had to seize the moment. This video features material that was brought to me by a client from almost the Canadian border. The material -ancient 1-3/4" x1-3/4" minecart rail from an old gold/copper mine. They stated that they wanted some grilling utensils to use while up in the mountains and wanted to use the tracks because of the significance it held to the area. I quickly designed the meat turners/flippers while still maintaining the basic look of the track, which by itself is not comfortable to hold and is rather heavy. I opted to round the bottom flange to fit the hand. I could have carved out the center and left it like a sword guard but opted for the other design as i wanted them to look like old rail equipment, or something from an industrial bygone era powered by steam grit and equine power. I love anything from the frontier-old or old west, so this was a simple yet fun way to experiment with meaning.
thank you all so much for watching and please remember to share subscribe and above all comment! i try to correspond as soon as possible to inquires or questions, and just generally love to hear from folk's all over the world. till next time. keep the forge hot and your water cool.

    I’ve been unsure of whether to get/make a power hammer or a press. I want to do more forging than I do, but can’t due to lower spine injuries. My VA Disability doesn’t leave any room to make any big purchases. I get out and ready to start and I get maybe 45-90 minutes before I have to stop due to pain. That little bit of forging takes me out for a few days at the least. Something like this would be ideal if I could afford it. I’ll have to go check it out, a bit of online window shopping..

      ​@@wrotironexactly this. Sometimes the adjustments I make take longer than what the hammer wants to do. For me it's easier to keep a good working rhythm than to pause longer to stop tapping the anvil.
