What do you do your HT with?

Right now I have a forge, salt pot, and digital kiln. Love em all but my favorite is the salt pot. Dan
 
24" Sugar Creek kiln. McMaster-Carr 11 Second quench oil for oil hardening. 18"x6"x1/2" steel plates for air hardening stuff.
 
Evenheat kiln from Rob! at www.knifemaker.ca for almost everything, including oil quenching steels. I sometimes use the forge, but I find myself using the kiln more and more because I simply have more control over the heating cycle and there is no guesswork involved.

plus I use Carr-McMaster quench oil
 
Right now a home-built PID controlled heat treating oven quenching with aluminum plates for stainless or Parks#50 or AAA for carbon steels. I have a 22.5" Evenheat coming in next week.

Forge for heat source which burns either propane or used engine oil. Houghto Quench-K oil or brine for quenching.

I'm working on obtaining a couple of substances for a dual layered quench tank, bottom layer being leopard urine and sitting above that will be melted rhinoceros fat.

Makes a fine etchant and also is great flux for silver soldering and forge welding. All the ABS MS at Batson's used it during the demos.
 
I use the Evenheat Pro here in the shop. It is great and works well. :)
