Probably not for beginners. If you get some 1084 or some other simple carbon steel it should make things easier. But if you are going to purchase steel why not get better materials to begin with. Those springs are rather thick which means unless you have a power hammer or press your going to start out with a low layer count. That means you'll spend more time folding and drawing out the billet. The higher the layer count you start with the fewer folds you'll need to get the layer count up.
