Forging a marble inside a railroad spike

Through the use of a forged “basket twist”, this large red glass marble is forever locked inside of this steel railroad spike. And conveniently notched to create a functional bottle opener as well.

[@mattvandeven9838]

Even the leverage tool is made of railroad spikes ..this dude is awesome

[@joshpointoh]

Good catch

[@larryscarry411]

Didn't catch that but good eyes I was thinking it was from old semi break adjuster or something in that line of parts?

[@emeriusjones]

Little did you know he himself is a railroad spike

[@MenardMetalCraft]

@@larryscarry411 main portion is plasma cut plate, then it has railroad spikes welded on each end for added leverage 🤙🏻

[@MenardMetalCraft]

Haha thanks man!

[@jamesfair9751]

That’s awesome. Also did you shape the top to be a bottle opener or do railroad spikes just happen to be shaped in the perfect way ?

[@MenardMetalCraft]

I shaped it! With an angle grinder

[@inertproductionsalternate9114]

​@@MenardMetalCraft A extremely versatile tool.

[@K_c_B]

Why ​@@MenardMetalCraft, do you people keep making stupid bottle openers? Nobody needs a F'ng bottle opener. They are all twist-offs now. Move on. Let’s all agree that bottle openers are for when you have no new ideas. Thanks...

Now you have a tool heavy as hell to simply take a bottlecap out .GENIUS.

[@bobbygetsbanned6049]

If you're lucky, you only accidentally break the bottle half the time.

[@leehaelters6182]

A bottle can be opened with nothing more than a nail head proud of a short length of 1x3. Even less, of course, just a spoon, even. There is a well established need for objects in our homes that inspire wonder and admiration for their design and craftsmanship. You know that already.

[@lemons1559]

@@leehaelters6182 Even just a corner on a table/pavement/electric box opens a beer. When in doubt, every tool's a bottle opener. So is every piece of furniture and most architecture.

[@leehaelters6182]

@@lemons1559, agreed, it is a rare tool I cannot employ to open a beer. Among the most comfortable are my best and widest paring chisels.

[@lemons1559]

@@leehaelters6182 I remember the most innovative one I used was when I was in Germany. I was walking at night with a friend and we found an unopened beer on the ground. Of course, me being stupid, I took it, walked along with my friend chatting shit until I found a little nook in some apartment building's wall which I used to open the bottle. It smelled like beer, looked like beer, didn't seem to be tampered with so we downed it.
