After making 3 stainless steel spangenhelms in the past approx. month, I'm back working with mild steel again!! SOOOOOO much easier!

Happy times for me!

Do you have patterns for making rocks from mild steel or do you just freehand each one so that no 2 are alike?

Been up all night working... need sleep.

Now, if only we could make a rust-free form of mild steel that wouldn't dent so easily...

Hey... Wait a minute...

Rocks don't rust...They're tough to dent...Otto's found out how to combine the two.

How about a marble breatplate anyone?

But what became of mild steel rock one? Im sure mild steel rock too is very nice, but I would like to compare first and second generation to see how much improvement there has been

Is that why older vaccuums are made of stainless steel?

Right! And, modern vacuum cleaners are all plastic because plastic sucks even more than stainless.
