[TheForge] Update on bluing iron

[H and P Foster]

Awhile back I was asking for suggestions on getting a blue color on iron. My
first attempts were not too good and I told the client I may not be able to
give him the color he wanted, but when I finished all the pieces and had
them wire brushed bright ready for the oil treatment, I just thought I would
try one more time, and held each piece in the gas forge until the blue color
came and then just set that piece aside to cool.  (I think that was one of
the suggestions) Yellin oil finish and wax to wrap up the job.

Here is a link to see the finished color.

All's well that ends well, and thank to the list members for the
suggestions.
