[TheForge] -Hay rake tines

[Paul N]

I'll tell you stuff on this list gets me thinkin' and looking up stuff 
which is really broadening both my knowledge.

Found this while looking for a comparison of 1095 and W1: (sorry bout

  hardening and tempering temps and corresponding hardness results.... 
I'll be putting a copy in the shop today)
