Bought 4 2foot pieces of steel.
And a bunch of junk to try making a pos shiv.
Probably something an inmate wouldn't want to be seen with.
So, it's raining hard, I can't find the desire to hunt our last day...
Broke out the hacksaw, then the angle grinder.
Not very happy, and it's too wet to drag the belt sander 4x36,
outside.
Gave up,
well damn.
Let's see how the bastard will work.
A bit of work, but I am now worried about this steel.
Can something this soft really get hard. (Dick joke?)
Amazing how fast it cut.
Now I'm stuck. It's too flexible to profile without support.
So I'm going to drill the pin holes, and using machine screws,
bolt a wood or metal support to the bottom to stiffen it while
it gets file profiled.
But, time, kid issues, Church Christmas program all have things on hold.
Makers.
Is knife steel (80crv2) really this soft before hardening?
Never worked with anything high carbon.
It's way softer than cold rolled I've worked before.
Heck, it's like aluminium.
