[TheForge] Triangles

Mon May 3 20:29:00 2004

Sounds like a good idea.  Is that Robb Gunter's Superquench?  I have that
recipe in my files.  If it's some other recipe, would you please send it to
me?  I'll have to do some shopping and mix up a batch to try it out.

I'm sure you can buy spring steel in appropriate sizes, but I felt like I
was cheating, so I did it the hard way.

Made a few triangles - I found that mild steel works
fine, but you get a much better ring if you quench the
corners in superquench. Really improves the tone and
intensity.
