[TheForge] RE: Tool Steel

[Jerry Smith]

Andy,

What does that have to do with moving my tools steel.
I am willing to give half of the pile to somebody who
will help me move this pile to my shop. That is my
economics.

I used to follow the Macro Economics of the World, but
these days and in my area, the steel business is
always on TV. They will being closing a plant because
it costs too much to produce here that was last week,
this week they are increasing production due to
current and sudden demands, next week they plan on
selling the mill. That is on the tube a lot around me
and it's ever changing. Some Brazilian company is
buying out another steel company around here, or maybe
next week it could be the company in Chicago buying
the mill. Without a chart, you could get a headache.

So anyone want to split some tool steel?

Jerry
