After the 15% discount which I should qualify for, it would be about $150 before shipping and taxes.
I'm pretty sure my current flywheel cannot be turned down anymore. |

Technically this is forging. But think about this. You start with a pure steel alloy (best case). Did you notice that the amount of material used was lets just say 1/8 of the ingot. So the 1st one you do is pure. After you roll it around in the soil, you now throw it back into the forge to make the next ingot. So how much of god knows what is introduced into the metal?
I'm sure all the impurities burned off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

So how much of god knows what is introduced into the metal? That's called alloying. It even has propriety and local-specific dopants. Probably why some import metals work so nicely.
