[QUOTE="Lesgold, post: 322744, member: 9840"] Thanks for the comments guys. I was not going to attempt to shape the plough disc through any bending. I was going to use the natural curve and then just cut the shape out with an angle grinder. I actually found a home made pick when I was out on a creek a month ago. I could see that it was made from a plough disc. I reshaped it slightly and now use it every time I go out. The steel quality is quite good. The making will be a simple process (my background is a Wood/ metal teacher) but ideas in relation to shape will be the major consideration. Thanks again. Les [/QUOTE]
