[TheForge] A small project, questions from a new hammer.

[John Steppe]

Maybe someone with more experience can speak to this topic.  I believe mower
blades are tempered so you want to be careful fixing it for mower use.  I
just recycle my blades to other purposes.  If you get a brittle spot and hit
a rock you could send a chunk flying.
