Don't know if anyone else has heard it, but my scrap dealer tells me
there's a fair amount of hassle in dealing with railroad iron. As in,
having documentation as to ownership, and he can't resell it except to
a recycling plant. No idea if this is state, federal or where the
rules come from, but it won't hurt to check.

Short chunks of it _do_ make nice things to pound on, though.


And a 5-in. section makes a great dolly for fast bodywork. I have one with a
thumb-hole that somebody torch-cut through the web. I polished it up good
with my 16-Amp Milwaukee grinder. When I use it with my basic body hammer --
a 2-lb. maul -- I can knock a fender into shape quick as a wink. If you
stand back about twenty feet, on a cloudy day, it looks damned good.

This is not a joke, BTW.
