Does anyone know where to find plans for a tempering oven?

[mike deibert]

Gentlemen,

I would like to build a tempering oven and was hoping someone out there may know where I could get some plans to do this. I currently use the gas oven in my home but have a hard time getting it over 420 degrees. Being that I live in Nicaragua I don't have access to purchasing some of the nice equipment that many catalogs offer. If anyone out there can help me out I would really appreciate it.

Thank you,
Mike

Man I just picked up one of Paul Champagne's sword ovens a couple of weeks back and had no idea how to wire the controllers up. Now I do! Thanks, MadBug!

Mike,

I'll email you some photos. My heat treating oven is gas (propane) and could easily be adapted to run low or high. In fact, it could easily be made to work as your heat treating / tempering oven.
