<description><![CDATA[I think most steel yards have it.   Metal Supermarkets has it under cold-rolled steel. (<a href="http://www.metalsupermarkets.com/catalog/STEEL-COLD_ROLLED/ROUND">see their web site</a>)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Jim: What about the availability of 1040 steel? Where is it available locally and is it available in a variety of sizes? I know that it is not a &quot;Tool Steel&quot; and that machine shops use it where strength is required, so maybe it is fairly available. I have used a modified 1045 steel and it has been great to water quench and I have not felt the necessity to temper after doing so. It gets pretty hard. My problem is that I have it in just the one size, and the size I have is pretty big. I have done a lot of sawing as a result.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of the things that I love about blacksmithing are all the tools!  You can forge one of just about anything with a minimal set of tools, but if a project requires two or more identical parts, appropriate tooling can  be quite a time saver (just try to make three scrolls alike for your next trivet!).   <br />
<br />
Just what a tool lover wants!  <br />
<br />
In late October, 2007 I was able to immerse myself in tools in Lou Mueller's “Tools and Jigs” class at John C Campbell.   To top it all off, I was attending on scholarship from Alex Bealer!  For my scholarship report, follow this link:  <a href="http://www.alexbealer.org/datas/users/tools_and_jig_class_web_5.pdf">Tools and Jigs Scholarship report</a>]]></description>
