Tod,
I hope to see you (and anyone else on TheForge) at the 9th Annual Saltfork Craftsmen ABA conference in Perry, OK in October (15 and 16).  Peter Happny and Brian Gilbert will be demonstrating.
 
You can find registration information on the web site:  http://www.saltforkcraftsmen.org/
 
You don't have to be an Okie to come.

Hello, North Dakota Smiths.
Anyone from around the Grand Forks area? I am back in school at UND Grand
Forks the program is mostly online but I have to travel to your neck of the
woods to enjoy the seasonal weather of late Feb. and early March. Since I am
going to be there for 30days without my shop thought I may be able to at
least visit other Smiths and to see how you work up North. Perhaps this Okie
can learn a thing or three.
Time enough for sleep in the grave.
             Tod

> I'd be grateful for suggestions on a shade-tree methodology for heat treating some small S1 steel forgings.
Ive got a couple dozen corkscrews ( wurms, properly speaking) all
forged up and formed with the little eyes punched out.(poor
widdle wurms!)
  Needless to say, there are a lot of heats ( wurms can be
infuriating to get right) and i don't know just how decarborized
they are at this point.
S1 is an air hardening steel and the small cross section means
that they will cool quite quickly, especially the tips.
Tempering also promises to be tricky because of the shape and taper.
Do i need to process all these wurms in a welded steel box?
Help'd be appreciated....Pete F
