Probably was over cooked a bit, the problem was (other than stupidity/ignorance) the forge is too small so it was hard to get an even heat ,so I spun it round .
I didn't get a chance to anneal it , I just cleaned off the slag after the warm sump oil quench ,so I could see the colour change when I bunged it in the oven...straw or something I Haven't really looked into it exact timings/colours yet lol
I've got a 350mm circular saw blade we found in a skip, to have a practice on..so it will be a hell of a lot less work/filing due to the thickness ,which in turn will result in less tears when I inevitably **** it up again
Im gonna have to keep an eye out for an old rasp/file on a boot sale, as most are just case hardened
I may also need to get some counselling, I still cant believe shes gone
Ill soon SNAP out if it ,Lets hope I can BREAK my run of bad luck,Nice to see your comments are DIVIDED
