Re: make - forge? - wedge for feathers-and-wedge rock-split

"Richard Smith"  wrote in message news:m1v856w8d2.fsf@void.com... The question:
How would you go about producting wedges about 2mm to 3mm thinner than
the current ones?
Doing something to the current wedges would be okay.
Making them anew with something like forging could be a good project.
If so what steel would you use?  AISI1075? (C-Mn; 0.75%C).  If so -
"spring-temper"?
We have something called "silver steel" which is "(centreless-?) ground
0.8%C steel" (ie. right on the eutectoid).
Always appreciated the range of knowledge here.

Rich Smith
