Wow...grinding bevels is HARD.

Unless you know what type of steel your scrap is you're probably better off starting out buying steel

Mostly 1018 and 12L14 carbon steel, 4140 and 4142 alloy steel, and 304 or 316 stainless.

I have it on good authority that Sam's steel came from Aldo.

Ah HA! Another mystery solved!

Brad, I think Aldo's 5160 was cheaper than his 1095!

My 5160 is free, so I didn't pay much attention to that...
