    I was just wondering have any others had trouble with finding good steel stock? I only ask because I can't find any 1090 steel.
    Thank you,

    It doesn't have to be 10xx if you have trouble finding that.
    O1 is an excellent razor steel as well, and should be available pretty much everywhere that sells steel in the US.

    Very cool, can you please describe what the various items in the pic do? Looks like a small motor on the bottom? What will the shape be straight out of the forge? a bar or rod or? Thanks, impressive.
