Thank you for all the work.

Thank you Joel.

Thank you. what is the best steel to use for hardy tools, and for top fullers or punches and drifts?

I am curious what I can make from my D2. I do need punches, chisel's, fullers, ect. Would the D2 be ok for them?

I'll try looking for some 1045 online, I wasn't completely honest I did find some 4140 online but a 1-1/2 by a foot was $70. I do have a friend whose dad is a mechanic, try to ask around there. Thanks for the help, my main problem is my age. Not out of high school, so I'm broke. so I'm trying to find ways to stay in a budget.

 

I understand that budget thing. I'm 39 and am staying in a budget as well. Thanks for the question as I was wondering the same thing
