[TheForge] RE: Tool Steel

[Stephen Viola]

Well none of you are setting a pretty picture about the future of self
employed blacksmiths. Still I suppose as we are at the lower end of
the metal trade scale we can always use someone elses junk metal. I
suppose all we have to do is raise our prices as suited.. then it's
the consumer that cops the cost at the end. Poor bastards! :o)

I couldn't even imagine what 1,9 million tons of steel would look like!
