Damn I'm having fun!

I've been using my furnace and having a ball. I just heat treated two blades and annealed 5 old files. It only took 20 minutes to get the files cherry red. The unit was preheated from HT so I figured I do the files while I was at it. I'm liking this heat treating.

Cool! I'm still waiting on my coffee can forge supplies from Darren, but I'm pretty excited about starting (knowin my luck the stuff sat out in the rain all day today!) with a better set up. 5 years of open air heating with propane and MAPP is REEEEdiculous.

Yeah after the fiasco I had with the large camp blade, the torch is out unless someone wants just an edge hardened blade with a distinct temper line.
