[TheForge] RE: Tool Steel

[Jerry Smith]

Dan,

Steel is so dense compared to something like a
generator. I moved 10K ona  trailer, that was my TIG
welder, 15Kw generator, my 14 x 40 lathe and bunches
of little stuff. The pile of steel is about two skids
in square shape and maybe 2 feet tall. Much different
density. This is really good stuf!
