.After having my post in "Ironworks as toys" response deleted. If I recall, I said no bad words, made no flames to anyone, and (trust me) I've HEARD worse said in church. It was a simple and clean adult conversation that didnt warrant getting locked. Count me out of this site for any future dealings. Glenn you can delete my account Bob :)

That sums it up well. I had a local here aske me to make a steel gate for him. Nothing fancy, just something rustic looking. It took me about a day to complete and he offered to pay me $200,000 yen (a little under $2000). I gladly made his gate It's called Supply and Demand. If someone want a stout 8 foot tall birdcage looking thingy to put their partner in, and they're willing to pay good money for it, then I'm gonna make it for them. Just my 2 cents worth Bob :)

I'm currently stationed in Okinawa in the AF (Getting ready to retire in 5 years). AS far as rasps go, I only use Belotta Hoof Rasps. THey forge well and will quench in water. If I cant find used one I'll pay the $20 and buy a new one. I make alot of camp irons and such and sell them at a local swap meet. It's designed to sell your stuff to the Japanese. They really eat stuff like fire irons up, paying whatever you ask for it. I had made a steel rose (took me about a half hour and about $2 in materials) that I was using at a paper weight. A local came up and asked how much, which I told him it wasnt for sale. He then made an offer of 10,000 yen (Roughly $100 USD) so I parted with it. Thanks for the welcome Bob :)
