[TheForge] recycled steel- spinoff question

Thu Feb 27 18:31:00 2003

I played around using scrap steel for about 2 years and never used new steel
until I took a begining blacksmith class from The Guild of metalsmith.  It
was the first time I ever used new steel.  During the Class I learned that
certain steels work better for certain projects.  After that I bought some
new steel steel for certain projects including some pure Iron and have
injoyed using pure iron the most because it works so easly.
