What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

Kidding, of course. It's soft though. I think it's 1084. It's going to get the old "David Mary Custom" mark without a steel designation though, just to be on the safe side.
 
Think of this: before today there were PVC pipes, lumber, chicken wire and other miscellany right above my head, some of it wrapped in plastic, lots of nooks and crannies, and three years worth of dust. Any time I bumped the rafters too hard with my head or if I was sweeping up and tagged one of them with the end of the broom handle, or if a mouse scurried up there, or a medium to large fly buzzed around, I’d be instantly showered in dust.

Wanted to do marbled carbon fiber for it but the surface of the material I get isn’t perfectly flat.

Grinding it wasn’t making it so today either, meaning it’s finally time for a platen change. Even glass wears over time and the platen edges round.
