Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Steel & Fabrication - Help Please!!!

A couple of years ago I found a list of common items such as files, shovels, leaf springs, bolts, etc; that showed what grade of steel everything was. It was GREAT for fabrication because you always knew where to find a good grade of steel on the cheap.

I was wondering if anyone has that, or knows where to find it? I've been doing some Googling, but apparently my Google Fu is inadequate for the taask.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

I'm familiar with that site, didn't see anything what I'm looking for on there.

Just saw that list a few days ago, I'll see if I can find it for you

Here's a coupe:

This is the "Junk Yard Steel" list.

SBTCO,

The "Junk Yard Steel" list is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Not sure how I lost mine in the first place, but thank you so much for helpining me find it...very handy list!!

Dunno. I have a handheld deal that you hold to a piece of steel and in 30 seconds it tells you what alloy it is and down to the nearest 0.1% what each element is in that alloy....of course it cost $45k.
