Today was forge a one piece spur day. For those that aren't up to speed on spurmaking, there's two ways to make your heelband/shank component. You can make two piece spurs which is where you weld your shank material to your heel band material or you can do it the old school way where you split a piece of bar and "T" it out. The old timers seemed to prefer car axles and they split em with a torch. I've got a bandsaw so in the name of less clean up I used it. This piece of roundstock was formerly a 1" hydraulic ram. I cut it 6" long then split it 4" deep.
