Forging a railroad spike bottle opener 

Totally badass video thank you for taking the time

Nice bottle opener. Not hitting hammers together is an old wives tale. Next they'll say don't hit a chisel.

I now have a new project to try very cool 👍

I remember my Grandad was ‘into’ blacksmithing & I’d man (@ 7-10yrs Young: I’m 60 now!) the hand-crank billow to heat the iron ~ just being with him & doing that 50-years ago was awesome/great memories!! Watching your work & skill happily brought that all back...thank YOU! The way you talk about your passion with blacksmithing is what kept me watching ‘til the last second. BTW, my Grandad Owned & Ran His Sawmill (he did Southern Ga Yellow-heart Pine from OLD local warehouses), by hand, ‘til he was 78yrs. I guess those 2 professions run hand-in-hand, imho! Again, thx for bringing those great memories back - don’t know why I rambled, but your videos are excellent!!! Keep Heatin’🇺🇸

I’ve just started working with spikes making different things and a lot have twists. I currently have been using a pipe wrench to do my twists which sometimes leaves marks and or slips. I love the tool you use. I’m stealing that idea. Thanks.

I would totally buy a t-shirt with the quote “Nothing to it!” and some sort of OHF logo

Great video

Least you drink decent beer! Nice vid too!

how did this only get 251 likes at the time of me watching yall please show this hard workin man some love and like his videos please and thank ya

I like this idea! Way to make a useful item out of a railroad spike.

I gata say, its always a pleasure to watch you work. No flair, no melodrama, just efficient work. And thank you for all the help you have given to the many charity's. You are a hell of a good dude and one badass blacksmith. Keep up the good work.

I would like to see a video on how you made the railroad spike twister. Very cool Tool indeed!

Love your work! You're the reason I got into blacksmithing. Keep on heating and beating brother.

Great Video John! Just something simple yet most bottle opener tutorials you see aren't with a railroad spike. It was neat to see your take on it. Thanks.!

I need that spike twister

Once again thank you for your guidance I love the way you did the one in. Drifting so much easier than working the horn for me also Thanks

I really enjoy watching your videos, keep em' coming!

I have a feeling ill be watching you for a long time. I just started blacksmithing after I got my associate's in welding. I absolutely love everything about blacksmithing and you make it look so easy. Thanks for making videos (:

I love making these! Made two today pretty quick for my neighbors!

Thanks ! I’ve been trying to get the end correct for a few days... you just paved the way. Awesome video

Very nice idea, I was just given about 100 spikes and I’m tired of making knives with them. Thanks for video hammer on

A Real Man™ uses his teeth, or what's left of them to open bottles.
