Finally some control of the hamon

[SBranson]

A really big thanks to Karl Andersen for his guidance and critique of my methods. A switch to a horizontal quench tank and I feel like I'm developing a little control of my hamons.

This is W1 quenched in Parks#50.

Thanks alot everyone.

And all three together. My daughter thought the photo needed lots of arbutus berries.
