[TheForge] RE: Tool Steel

[Saint Phlip]

I'd love to, Jerry, but coming after it from Connecticut would be a
bit of a run ;-) And, I'm kinda busy over here, trying to get my hands
on a couple tons of wrought iron (yeah, the rwal stuff). If you like,
I can post the offer of halvsies to my Metalsmiths List, and the
Creative Frugality List, see if we can find you some takers. I'd
guess, since you said it's about 100 miles west of Wheeling, it's in
Zanesville or Newark?

Saint Phlip

Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Psalm 146
King James Bible
