I'm in San Carlos, CA. (About 15 miles south of SFO Airport)

I have several 24" x 22" x .75" and 22" x 21" x .5" A-2 tool steel
plates that a tool and die company scrapped. The plates don't have any
rust, but they do have four .5" holes around the perimeter and a
..5"x.5" milled rabbet on two sides. (I'm sure in metalworking they
wouldn't be called a rabbet, would they?)

I'm using two of the plates for a welding table top, but I was going to
sell the others.

I know these were expensive new. Any offers?

Probably "shoulders".

Careful with heating the plates. If you get them red (even in just a
localized spot), they'll probably harden and you could get a chip in your
body if you subject it to shock (with a hammer, for instance).
