[TheForge] Textured steel

Sat Nov 9 21:51:01 2002

Harry,

Some guys have all the luck.  I wish we had a scrap yard near here. I've
resigned myself to using new steel for most things.  The demonstrator
(Tarence Clark) at the last BAM conference had a different approch to
texturing steel. When he ran it under the power hammer he threw handfulls of
scale on it to distort the surface. It worked well on flat stock.

Hey Bob, I got some like that from a Junk yard, maybe it was there because
it was rejected from the steel supplier, but I kind of liked it.  I actually
put texture into some of my pieces, so the job had already been started ;-)
