@@onedudeonehammer temperature doesn't have to be exact but yes that's it. Doesn't have to be oil, I often use bee's wax to do it. I showed a couple of young guys how to chase the colors when hardening some chisels we had made. I couldn't believe they had never heard of doing that. Next thing I know they are turning the little leaf key fob's we made blue. You never know what someone missed in their education... LOL... PS...I went to the grocery store this morning and apparently bumped my head on the lift gate of the car. I got home okay but I don't remember how I got home. Blood running down my face gave my wife a real scare. I suppose we need to be more careful as we get older.
Good to hear from you again
I enjoy cleaning up old tools mainly woodwork related. Nice find though T and they look great once again
Thanks Man!
You ever try a blacksmith finish on tools. It is more durable than bluing
Is that heat to 450 and plunge in oil?
