      I decided to go with the ER70S6 , followed by case hardening . Turns   
   out it is actually quite hard as-welded - might actually need to be   
   tempered - so I skipped the case hardening . I'm waiting for a call back   
   from the neighbor since I kinda melted a sharp corner and it's going to   
   be a bitch to try to build up - this thing is only about 3/8" in   
   diameter with a flat on one side . I can cut that bit off if taking off   
   a sixteenth will be acceptable . Most of these nail guns have a depth   
   setting so I'm thinking it won't be a problem to shorten it but I want   
   to check with him to be sure .
