    Looking for 3/16" thick by 3/4" wide high carbon steel....

    Hi, I posted this over on the want to buy forum, and the shop talk forum, but thought I'd post it in several areas, since not everybody visits every forum. As the subject line says, I'm looking for some high carbon steel 3/16" thick X 3/4" wide. I've got some projects coming up and that size...

    3/4" wide X 3/16" thick high carbon steel....

    3/4" wide forging stock....

    Hi, my name's Dana Acker, and I'm from Mt. Airy, NC. I have not posted on this particular forum before. I'm pretty much a new/old haunt at the Neo Tribal Forum. That said, does anybody have any high carbon steel at 3/16" thick and 3/4" wide (any length) for sale? I used to get 1095 from...

    Howdy, from an old timer.....

    It's been a while. Went to the old forum and nothing much takes place there any more; kind of visiting a haunted house where you used to live. A search landed me here, where, Stormcrow, an old compadre from back in the day, I see, has done a great job holding down the NT fort. Hats off to ya...
