[TheForge] Gun blue finishing

[Dan Scheid]

I took my sword to my local gun smith. he has a salt bluing tank/system. 
cost me 3 bucks to have it blued. I did all the prep work and took the 
blame if it came out like crap. It came out fantastic.  for things like 
this having the right equipment really makes a difference

Thoughts?
