[TheForge] Hardy questions

[Chris Kilpatrick]

Hi folks,
     Just got a bandsaw for Christmas (early, I know) I have been reducing some railroad rail into hardy sized pieces, have several questions:
     First, it appears as if the rail had a 1/4 piece welded to the top of the rail (there is a clear line where this section stops)  Are appearancess deceiving?
     Secondly, I have come up with plans for spring fuller dies as follows: flatter dies, drawing dies, vee dies, veining dies, various round and square dies.  I also have come up with bending forks, rivet bottom tools, several small stake anvils.  Any suggestions on what other tooling UI can make from RR rail?
     By the way, I have no power hammer, so all suggestions need to be slanted to hand hammering.

thanks in advance,

Chris K.
