I was trying to make a couple of minature carving blades. I was reading in the carving book that the guy used a common nails to make his. I heated the nail and shaped on my anvil, filed and then tried to harden, heated to a red bright red and quenched in oil three seperate times which was what the author suggested. they are still soft, and didn't harden as I thought they should? should I have used mason nails? Any help for a newbe would be appreciated. thanks
