He may have claimed to invent Laminated Steel but he was using much older receipes in conjuction w/ a blast furnace, or the like, and removing the carbon content. Being the "difficult man"(coined by Dig as far as I know) he was, he gives no credit to the inventor of the furnace process and really no direction as to what in the world he did. If previous tales are true, old tubes could have been fitted to newer actions so the availability of stubs may not have been a large issue then. The proof may be on the inside of the pudding.
