Making a Solid Gold Railroad Spike

I recreate the golden spike for the 150th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental rail road. I'm only about about 21 months late... the last couple of years have been hard on me ok.

You got to love how cody works on the floor and uses old things around his house to make a $26, 000 solid gold spike. He is on a budget, i guess?

"Of course we are going full size" Never change Cody!

So to answer common questions that I'm getting:

I went home and filmed getting the spike out then I showed how the spike fared. Once the weather cleared up I drove back out (to some random field in town not to promontory) and pounded it in. Then I chopped it out once again and filmed how the spike fared the second time. Apologies for making it unnecessarily confusing.

The weight of the spike after driving twice was 588 grams. Given the uncertainty in the scale it could be and probably is much less than a gram. Also most of the loss was from the 2nd time in the random field so please dont go trying to pan out the dirt at promontory.

Every single time you spell your name in your intro, I read it; “Cody Slab”

Cody: drives a rusting old Ford ranger with junkyard parts.
Also Cody: has a $26, 000 nail just because.

The harmonics emanating off the spike when you strike it with a hammer are ridiculous in a great way. I want to sample it!

"Some left over gold" I am used to saying that every day.

"the last couple of years have been hard on me ok" listen buddy it's February of 2021, you're in good company, no prob

“But of course I’m kidding-” *brings out a spike that will cost him 4x in gold* “-we are gonna go full size” this dude is harder than any rapper prove me wrong.

Pretty surreal to be pounding that thing in where the historical one was. Good video bro

All I could think about was how crazy it would feel driving home with a chunk of old wood with $26k worth of gold in it just rolling around on your floorboard

In regards to the time it took... Cody, my man, take all the time. Everything you make is worth watching.

[SamChaneyProductions]

The thing I love about Cody is that when faced with something disappointing, he responds by giving it a good laugh and trying to find something interesting or learnable from the experience rather than dwelling on the disappointment

I paused at 0:46. Cody, you really got me. I was looking at that the whole time thinking... 'That's not a railroad spike'
