curious about cable
« on: Jan 29, 2008, 07:13:10 AM »
ive got a LOT of new Wire rope its 5/8 diameter with stranded core i think its 7x19 stranded and rated for 45k plus pounds.. is this useful for off road applications? i was going to make cable damascus knives out of it but its zinc plated (forge and zinc plated means bad fumes)
just curious
