Hi all, Thanks for your replies< been very helpful. @ Randy its metric round bar, about 1 inch imperial by 4 inches, not big, but i live in the uk and its not so easy to come by here, (well it wasnt until i started my new job umm i was thinking of forging and or machining some repousse punches with it, but after reading the other thread i dont know if it will be suitable, so i might just have a bit of a play, perhaps see if i can make a damascus billet, and if so some jewellery if the pattern looks nice. ive used some rolling mill tongs made from it before, so i might make a pair of small tongs when i get some more, who knows...
Please do not use odd fonts makes it hard to read. Some people have to enlarge the screens to read normal size.
