[TheForge] RE: Tool Steel

[Jerry Smith]

It on the East Outerbelt side of Columbus. Everything
except the last 12 miles to my place, it is on I 70. I
live on a major state route, so it's an easy run. I
can cut the miles down, but I don't like running on
residential roads and gravel roads with lots of
weight.

Jerry.
