So I kicked my rear in gear, and stopped hiding behind a lack of cool tools. Below are my first two that are close to done. Both HT'd in a 2-brick with MAPP gas, temp monitored with Tempilstiks.
The white one is the first, O1 that I "accidentally" HT'd well enough for me to use as a pencil sharpener and general utility in the shop. file tests between 60-65RC. Cow bone stolen from my dog, stainless tube, and black liners. The coin is a US Dollar, for scale.
The second is a rusty file from my grandfather's shed, with black paper micarta, copper pins and liners. It file tests between 55-60RC.
Always open to advice.
