[TheForge] Gun blue finishing

[craig.schaefer at frontier.com]

But a powder coating oven would work, don't know how hot they get, but I expect at least 500 degrees.   That should be good enough for blue.

pete- its a table! 

just how big is your toaster oven, anyway? 

The last table I blued/ blacked was 4' x 3' x 8'. 

my regular oven isnt even that big.

Put the piece in a slowly rising toaster oven till it turns blue..slower

Gonna be a big toaster oven to do a whole table though.
