[TheForge] Air-hardening Damascus (Was:: For the Rube Gold...)

  -Once it was soft enough to file, I left it that way.  Um, why would
  -one harden a ring?

Dunno, what kinda barroom brawls go on in the Great white North?  Suppose it
would keep it from getting scored/scratched by wrenches, knives, soup spoons
and dessert forks.

  -> With that VW/MS ring you made, did you leave it wood coal/annealed? or
  -> harden it any?

  -Regrettably, it got lost somewhere.  I keep thinking it'll turn up in
  -a box of miscellany or a floor crack.  I should do it over, eh?
