Don Hanson III · Feb 14, 2011

Guys, I still have some W2, @ $3.50 per pound.

Since these threads don't come back to the front page, thought I'd post a link.
I've been getting emails asking if the W2 is all gone. Well, it's gettin close to the
end, but I have enough 2-5/8" for around 15 boxes. Just let me know if you
want some.

Thanks all.

Hey Don, go ahead and ship me another box. I'll shoot you a PayPal payment. Enjoyed chatting with you this last weekend.
Thanks,
Richard Dobson

Will do, Richard. Great visiting with you also!

Thanks!

Got my steel today, thanks Don, PS, Won't be able to do the Tamahagane thing this year.

Don Hanson III · Feb 18, 2011

Got there quick, Mark! Thanks!

I probably couldn't have made it, but sorry to hear.
We'll get together at some point though.

Looking forward to it. See you in Atlanta, I had them move me to the ABS side so I can be where the real action is.

Got my box today. I am still amazed at how fast they ship. You sent it on the 18th and here on the 22nd. If it had not been a holiday yesterday it might have been here then.

That stuff is HUGE. It dwarfs the last material I got from you. This is going to be FUN...

Thanks again

Thanks, Chuck!

The PO has been very quick with these heavy boxes. Well over 500 boxes and only one lost.
Found out the carrier was pissed and dumped one somewhere.

I find this large stuff no harder to forge than the 2", actually more fun

Folks, I'll be out of touch all next week (March 7-12). No computer and no shipping W2.
Will pick up the following week.

Thanks all,

Hey Don,

I am looking for some W2 steel for forging a larger blade. Do you have the round bar stock in longer lengths for forging a katana? message me if you have anything of interest.
