A hot railroad spike in a small mechanic's bench vise has been twisted, resulting in forge scale breaking off from the surface.

    @croyle@wandering.shop I also like the scale that forms when smithing. Somehow feels like it’s been wrung out like a flannel, which 100% shouldn’t be possible with a solid.
