Blacksmith David Woodward makes Glassblowing Raking Tool
I am going to make a wild guess: That I am the only glassblower in the world to have a raking tool make from a railroad spike (rail spike)!
Blacksmith David Woodward was demonstrating at the Scranton "Arts on Fire" Festival (June 1-3, 2012) and made me this unique raking tool!

Sorry these photos are only from my smartphone 5 Megapixel camera and not my real camera.
Click on any of the photos below to see the full-size image.
Note: The cup with water was used to cool a specific point on the spike so a reverse twist could be applied in the opposite direction to the twist already made!
I did a Google Image search for railroad spike art, and I was surprised to see over a quarter of a million images returned!
I had no idea so many things could be made out of railroad spikes!
