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.

    Coathooks, drawer handles, book ends, door stops, gardening or tent stakes.

      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.
