thecelticforge Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have a two foot bar with an oval profile of tool steel. I have no memory of how I got it or what is was used for. I am thinking on making a froe out of it. Any idea what its original purpose was or anything else better to do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal L Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have a lot of it. Mine is about 3/16 x 3/4 flat in 12 ft lenths. It came from Cresent Tool Co and i was told it was used to make Vise Grip pliers. Not sure if that is right or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokshasa Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 whatever it is i wouldn't waste good tool steel to make a froe lol, i use truck springs(the thick ones) they upset nicely and work really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecelticforge Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Since the price of scrap went up last summer to 11.80USD per hundred, there is not a single leaf spring let in the entire state :~( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
