    I love it!! And I’m glad to hear you used hot rolled steel, and case hardened it. I see so many beautiful tools posted on this site, and a lot seem to be beautifully finished o1 tool steel. I don’t even know where to get o1 or a comparative tool steel in thicker sizes. (Any advice on sources for tool steels is always appreciated) BUT I have to say that this is a beautiful little hot rolled steel fixture plate. Thank you for sharing!

    mbsilvia,

    If you ever are looking for a source of steel check out speedymetals.com. They do an excellent job and cut to order also.
