Thanks for the link! Wow, I just looked at the title of this thread... I cannot spell today!

I have worked for a blacksmith at a Boyscout camp in North Georgia for three years now and this year he isn't returning to camp and I have been asked to take over the forge for the summer. I know what I'm up to as far as basic blacksmiths goes but for as long as I've been here we have been using the metal stock of the blacksmith before either I or my teacher came to the camp. This old stock is used up so I'm looking for some iron rods and square stock to demonstrate making nails, scrolls and chain with but all I can find is tool steel at the welding supply that is much too hard to work with for our purposes. Where can I get the iron I need?
