A staple in the Menard Metal Craft line of rustic decor: The Forged 90 Railroad Spike hook. Simple. Functional. Practical. This is the physical embodiment of American heritage. Rooted… rather nailed in history, embedded across the country, the railroad made America, and many other countries for that matter, what they are today. However as I work with North American railroad spikes (which do differ from the European versions), its visions of the old west that play out in front of me as these pieces roll through the shop.
Thanks for watching, and thanks for stopping by. Feel free to stay a while and hang your hat up, take a load off, make yourself at home. I am grateful to have you here. And if you want a hook of your own, check out or for this and many other railroad inspired decor items.

The ASMR edition (no music). Because sometimes we all need to tune out the excess noise in our heads and focus on the immediate sounds of life around us. Attune to what is. Let the sounds be as Heidegger describes the hammer, one does not focus on the hammer, one focuses on the workpiece and strikes with the hammer as though it is an extension of their physical being: Dasein.
And because I can’t monetize the video when Audioslave is showing me how to live in the background 🤷🏻‍♂️. So here in all its original glory as our minds were intended to process sound… I present to you another video of a railroad spike being forged into something arguably more useful. Thank you for your time. Scroll two back for the Audioslave version as well 🤘🏻

In all honesty after looking further into this phrase and rewatching the clips it was used in, I felt compelled to include a bit more than the usual “thanks for the support! I appreciate your order!” written on the inside of the packaging. I do appreciate all the orders I get. It’s when I look further into the custom requests that sometimes they can land pretty heavy in the depths of the moment. Anyways; heres a lesser frequented version as well: Valar Jorrāelias: All Men Must Love/ Live.

Hope everyone is doing alright out there! Stay safe I love you all.

When Sparks Fly. A beautifully written article (by Al Olson) in the newest issue of about myself and a little bit of this journey of mine meandering through life. Life’s a trip yo. Let’s get going, because I can’t wait to stop and take a look around. See you out there.

You gave me life now show me how to live.. now what? I just learned that is a nod to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which makes more sense than where my head went with it. But I’ve had a nail in my own head (these ideas) for quite a while now and the ringing in my head seems to be the cure (the ringing is the anvil… the thoughts literally being hammered out into a physical manifestation.. in case you didn’t follow along in my head there). Anyways thank you everyone for the continued support. I haven’t made one of these in a while but after a recent order I found myself having to do so, and it seemed like a good excuse to shake the dust off the tripod and make a new video as well. Happy Spring!

Hello Dude, thanks for coming; I’m Jackie Treehorn. Or that’s what plays through my mind when I flip these spikes in slow motion.
I’m Trent Menard, and many things make me think of many other things, such as the scene referenced above. The original image generator (your mind) is a fascinating place to spend some time in. While modern image generators might make it easier to share these internal visions there’s still something I find more fulfilling about going into the back yard and flipping this spike till my hand felt bruised from the horrible catches while I was focused on the phone blinding flipping over and over to recreate this movie scene stuck in my head. Something about the process of it all, a bit more cathartic to create than to generate. Anyways thank you all for being here over the years through my ebbs and flows of content, from my incredibly niche ideas that no one may get, to the unedited straight clips; I appreciate you all making me feel welcomed in sharing what keeps me going in the shop. Thank you.

Last night I was working on an order for a door knocker and needed to make a ring for it. Every time I make these rings I wonder if I could make a pair of glasses out of one piece of round bar. I never expected they would actually be wearable though. Here’s one more idea that made its way out of my head… and now could be on your head if you wish. This will be available soon as a one off piece on. Thanks for entertaining my ideas with me

Some body tell me…. Why I do the things I do.
I can’t tell anymore but I want to

Also this is somewhat of a re-edit due to the previously selected song being copyrighted on several platforms. But the drink poured out for the fallen homie is now a metaphor into the potential fruitless efforts of our labor. Enjoy the process, after all, the end result is usually for someone else anyways, so enjoy what bit of it you can...or do things for yourself and enjoy it all 🤷🏻‍♂️ whatever your method is, I hope you can see beyond it all and can truly understand that there’s more to life than that nut. (That’s a recent pop-cultural reference.. if you didn’t quite get it… I commend you for not being up to date on such things)

I know every piece of steel has a life, has a spirit, has a name.
I am the grinning bobcat, running the hidden pine trails of the forest.
Painting with the colors of the wind.

Thanks!

Spring is upon us. Waste not, want not.

Forged garden trowel, in the “root/rock” shape (to help dig out rocks and cut roots), with a drilled handle for the addition of a leather leash/wrist wrap to ease in holding and hanging. Quenched and sealed in Avocado oil.

Most interesting significant point of useless information about this forging is the use of railroad related items. A railroad spike as the work piece, being worked on a railroad track anvil, and shaped on a railroad coupler “knuckle”.

*no trains or railroads were harmed in the making of this video* 😅

Those good looking boots on my feet are from 🤙🏻
