    Need help for a stupid mistake

    So I made a hanger to dip them in, but because of the comination of hole placement and shape a few got stuck, and in the process of trying to free them up, 2 came loose unexpedidly and fell in. My take away is more hangers, less knives per hanger

    General idea on scrap yard steel

    Oh interesting, ill have to ask if they have anything like that. And yeah next time ill hopefully have more time to check things out and ask about the shafting. I also feel like there wouldn't be as much big round stock that seems to be machined that would be mikd as opposed to even medium...

    General idea on scrap yard steel

    That is all definitely doable, but is there anyway to tell at all while still in the scrap yard? Most pieces are pretty big. One pallet of pieces looked prettt promising considering they seemed to be wrapped in aome sort of paper or cardboard... Maybe was planned to be some sort of shafting?

    General idea on scrap yard steel

    So I was down at my local metal scrap yard and noticed the large amount of steel that was the perfect size to make some hammers, and yes I know that it would be better to buy known stock, but is there a way of having any idea if the steel is hardenable at all?

    Anvil rebound... is it just me?

    ironically the quieter one is the one with much better rebound haha, but yeah I fire would make sense for the peter wright, I bought that years ago when I hadn't had a chance to use a good anvil yet, so to me the rebound seemed good... Ignorance is bliss I guess haha and yeah... they did leave...

    Anvil rebound... is it just me?

    So, about a month ago I got an old American star anvil, it had had some serious weld repairs to the edges(not too well done it seems) but it was a great price and a little bigger than my peter wright at around 145 vs 120ish. So i set it up on the stand it came with(just 4x4s on end) and tried...
