    All mine I've done in the coal forge. Bring up to red heat, shut down the forge, then leave the piece in the fire pot to cool down until the next day.

    always done the same Mikel but after going to a JA clinic he recommends that with these modern tool steels proper heat treatment prolongs the life of the tools

    I'm still searching for steel. The local steel mill does not have it and would only purchase it for me by a semi load
