So we discovered in the belt making class this weekend just how bouncy our bowling lane table really is. Thanks to a previous donation of a piece of plate steel we were able to get a good striking surface.
So, if you have any scrap plate steel 1/4" or thicker big enough for a reasonable striking surface at least 5"x5", please holler at me. The leather SIG would like to add some to our stash.
Look in the scrap bin in the Metal Shop to see whether there is suitable material. With the plasma cutter coming back online soon, you will be able to make any size and shape you need.
Whoop whoop! Didn’t know there was a scrap bin in there…I’ll have to check that out! Thanks!
@Bitta,
I think I have 1-2 more steel plates like I brought in before - how many do we need?
FWIW, I could not find the one from before in either of the leatherworking cabinets Thursday night. 
Hmmm…we used it for the class Sunday. I was trying to keep it in the hardware box that was living in the leather sewing cabinet, but have found it mixed in with the granite among other places before.
A couple to three more would be great for classes - folks can share.
If you don’t find what you are looking for, have someone go to Garland Steel. Easy to work with and have a pretty good selections of cut-offs, etc. Go to the main office and tell them what you are looking for…They prefer cash for small buys on the weekend, but they’ll take a card. Sold by the #. Only open on Sat. until 12:00 (I think) http://www.garlandsteel.com/
