[TheForge] Stainless steel tools

[Harry]

Hi all,

    If I am to work with stainless should I make hardies and such out of
    stainless as well? And on the subject of stainless does it forge
    well? I haven't tried any yet but they produce a lot of stainless
    scrap at work. I was looking at a 2" shaft they were throwing away
    and thinking it could be used for a lot of things...if it can be
    forged. I don't have a plasma cutter so it would have to be cut the
    old fashioned way. What I have been working with so far would be
    A36, leaf springs, any bits of steel that were handy. I have some
    fairly large gauge copper wire I have been playing with as well. 

Glad the holidays are over.
