My wife thought she was being helpful and moved some 3/32 stock that came annealed and stood it straight up on end. Now the stock has some lovely bends in it. Being so thin I'm reluctant to grind each piece flat again , will the heat treating process straighten it out again with thermo cycling? Any info appreciated thanks.

I doubt standing it on end warped it. Steel is not that pliable.
Manually straighten it.
Manually straighten it.
agreed with above, never had that issue with my O1 that thickness... I did however have some that got shipped in 1/8", USPS was so nice to destroy the container it was shipped in and a piece was hanging half out and got bent a good deal. I manually straightened it the best I could, made a knife and HT'd it, found no issues.
