[TheForge] Learn something new every day...

[Saint Phlip]

The guys at the scrapyard where I get my sections of rail use a torch
and cut both sides of the bottom flange, then put it on top of
something and whack it with a sledge hammer. The pieces break right
off. It's where I get my stash of RR track pieces, to have available
for beginning smiths. Part of their scrapping involves getting piles
of old rail and breaking it up into more convenient hunks- they go
through a pile of track pretty quickly.

Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

It's the smith who makes the tools, not the tools which make the smith.
