[TheForge] bike chain steel

[Andy Gladish]

Actually, I made a garden trowel for a friend's birthday. One of a kind,  
that's for sure! The pattern isn't that pronounced- sort of a soft pebbly  
look, kind of like fruitcake or a rocky beach- but hard to see even after  
etching in vinegar for days.
It kind of acted like pretty good steel, certainly way harder than a36-  
didn't seem bad to weld up at all, but 'tool' steel does weld a little  
easier than 'mild'.
Thanks- next some saw chain.
