Do you do your own heat treating?

Sounds like you are on the right track. For safety reasons make sure you clean up all that aluminum dust and keep it separate from your steel dust. They are a very combustible combo.

Really? I honestly did not know that. Thank you.

Just read a story on this after I read your post. That could potentially cause quite a disaster. I will actually clean all of it up ASAP as I wont be working with aluminum anymore anyways.

Not yet. But I plan to in the future. I have a few locals that will do it for decently cheap.
