#PhotoOfTheDay is of one of my early railroad spike twists. I grabbed this photo because I love the forging scale that has peeled from the surface like burned fragments of paper.

@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.
@tamonten@mstdn.social I understand how it's created and all, but the fine ash pieces have an attraction to me well beyond the simple physics involved... I especially like when the stuff build up around my anvil. I have no idea why, but I do! :)
