SCRAP METAL PRICES - what gives ?
Ernie42141 replied to territorialmillworks's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
If you have a grinding metal recycle yard make friends with the manager. They have lots of good grade stuff they can't grind. I got great deals on huge piece of steel for an anvil. They will usually sell anything they can't sfread. Usually really high grade steel cheap -
My metal plate anvil has a big u shaped cut out that was where I was going to weld in the horn. I want to thank everyone your posts are super helpful for a newbie

I hope to be able to do knives, axes, and iron work to accompany my woodworking projects.don't every think I'll be doing giant pieces or production scale work. Just a guy who likes to make things "anythings" that come into the old idea locker on my shoulders.

I'll definitely look into it a a local machine shop. What do think is a good way to see if it turns out hard enough?

Do you think it may work without treatment. I'm just a beginner.

I live in a small town may be able to machine but have no idea where to get it hammered into a horn?

Team. I am grinding down a case hardened 4 inch hydraulic ram for a freestanding horn. If the top is left alone should or how would I harden it. Won't even scratch with a file right now. all caps have been replaced with normal text and post relocated.

Thanks for the feedback folks. I am grinding a horn out of 4" hydraulic ram. Have to see how that hold up. Keep on banging!

Team, I just acquired a 300lb block of steel about 2 1/2 inches thick. Only slightly dents with small ball peen hammer. Should I try case hardening or leave it alone? Suckered tings like a bell and has great bounce back already.
