Scavenging

The landlord of the farm, where my workshop is, has been clearing a field recently which turned up a bunch of scrap including a Wrought iron gate and This old plough

I cut some strips off the sparked as very high carbon. I then cleaned and etched one of them and it showed some slag content so I  suspect the matierial is old shear steel.

Im saving this matierial for now, but it might become something pointy and patternwelded later...
