hell yeah, I just bought a section of railroad track I'm going to try to use as an anvil... I've never tried to make anything like this lol, but I'm going to try and make a bottle opener from a piece of rebar

Lost of people use railroad track as an anvil. works pretty well. Stand it up so the "I" is facing up and is secured into the ground. Are you using coal for a forge? Rebar's fine to use, make sure your hot metal is producing its own light (super hot, white color just before it sparks). Use the corners of the track to make hard shoulders (putting the shape of the railroad track's 45 degree angle on the metal). Check youtube, theres some cool dragon type or goat bottle openers there, same idea just different look. Ive made a few and they work perfectly
The hammer doesnt make the shape, its the anvil that does.

How did your opener turn out? you might have to use a hot chizel to make the mouth a little more exact

Good going. Did you end up using coal or charcoal? The super black color is rub off from sediment. Polishing will brighten it and Boiled linseed oil will darken it.
If you open the mouth a bit with a chizel it also works for an opener!

Tongs are a must, you can tweek them to the exact size require!
Also, you make the same piece twice, slap a rivit in it, weld handles on. Boom, done!
3 good smacks (x2), and you're done.
Let me know what you make in the future!
