[TheForge] Possible return of Pure Iron to the USA

[Bruce Freeman]

Interested, but...

The cheapest price on their website is 90GBP for 3mx 3" square (don't
ask me why they cross units like that!), which comes to just under 1
pound sterling per pound pure iron (!).  That translates to roughly
$1.80 per pound.  Presumably, shipping has to be added to that.

So, the bottom line is, what would be the price in the US, and would
THAT be in Minnesota, or would it be available in other states at the
same price?

Anyone who got their hands on this material knows how wonderful it was
to work with.  But, just
like many a good thing........the east coast importer stopped bring it
to the USA.  While it is true
that it was expensive, but the ease of working with it more than made
up for the cost in reduced
forging time.

If there are enough people out there interested, the possibility of
importing it are very good.  Right
now I have standing pre-orders for 5,000 lbs.  What needs to happen is
this number has to be more
like 20,000 lbs in order to get a break on the shipping.

So, if you are interested, please reply and pass this message on to
others who might be interested.
