Picked up a dozen hiking the railroad tracks yesterday. Seems I ought to be able to do something creative with them. I usually don’t create purely for art’s sake, I want it to be practical.

I can wire wheel the rust off but can’t heat it enough to work that way.

      You got my gears turning. I could pre-drill holes and hammer them into trees for hanging hooks. Been thinking on a kayak hanging rig.

      And now you have me going, I could hang the kayaks from trees in the very back of the yard (forested), no worry about shading from the sun’s UV.

        Genius. I need two for the house and one for camp. Sell the rest at the flea market? This may be the most practical and easy answer yet.
