[TheForge] RE: Tool Steel

[Jerry Smith]

Bob and Stephen,

I had 8,000 pounds of tool steel offered to me for
just carrying it away. The pieces were too large for
me to handle. Even using a plasma torch, my machine
shop and all my other resources, the pieces were still
too big. 

Then it's the cost of hauling it about 120 miles back
to my place.

Anyone out there want to help me haul it and split the
steel evenly?
