Wow, I'm going to be heat treating a piece of a large lumber mill saw blade to see how it comes out. I whacked off one of the teeth with my angle grinder and saw that it somewhat resembled a knife blade so I annealed it with a propane torch and decided to practice filing and sanding the piece.
Well hand filing and sanding to 120 grit actually went faster and better than I thought it would, the thing actually looks like a blade and even though it's just to throw away after I try to harden it I think the practice was worth the effort!
(What an effort though, if I don't get a belt grinder sometime my forearms are going to end up looking like Popeye's, hey maybe I can get L6 to tattoo me an anchor, "I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam! HeHeHeHe!")
Good night folks!-Silent

Results! Why, man,
I have gotten a lot of results.
I know several thousand
things that won't work.
