    I like using several different bsb(metal and wood both) and sometimes handsaw blade. Also I use several types of spring steel that's in the carbon ballpark. I figger it ends up in the low to middle 70'sC. Thomas , for that envelope I got a week or so ago.

    After you've worked that piece of steel over pretty good, you're gonna say'Hmmmm why did it do that or not do this" then come back and ask "Why?" We may be able to help ya. BTW fill out yer location. May have someone close by who can be of assistance in the learning process. It's a long dark road trying to be self taught.

    Get an old coil spring and whack a piece off. Get it hot and pound the snot outta it til it looks like a knife.

    I have to admit my wife is extremely supportive of my vocations and hobbies. She even helps skin deer if I need the help. I would explain to the resistant wife that she can put her foot down in the house since that's her domain but the shop is the shop and is YOUR domain.

    Wallace isn't a lot of friendly help. Sid has as much printed material as anyone on the Fairbanks lineand is very helpful. If you don't want to contact him, let me know and I'll send you copies of what I have. One sheet does give recomendations of foundation size and construction. I have an A model(50#) and sunk 3 layers of bridge ties topped off with an 8" layer of white ash blocks. Keeps the vibration to a minimum.

    All the blades I've had specced were 10xx series plus 2% Nickel. These were all 52-56 inch blades. Only blades that remotely resembled L6 were some old dragsaw blades. Get a couple pieces and do some experimenting.

    With that style and profile, I would do a full quench. Also, Get sandpaper and a paintstick and smooth out the grinding patterns. The etch will show much beter.

    To play the devils advocate, why are high end shotgun stocks not stabilized. I mean, if you have a $10,000 Parker , why not stabilize the stock?

    I mig weld the cable ends before I start welding. That allows me to untwist the cable and brush out a lot of crud and corruption. Whack it a few times on the anvil, you'll be surprised how much crap comes out. Then do the welding sequense. Twist it 3-4 times. You'll feel it if the cable begins to twist off. Saves a lot of hammering doing it that way. For me anyhow. bruce
