Laughing Steel

Is it just me are can y'all hear steel laughing at you when you hand sand it after heat treating. (Sorry had a procedure done on my back today may be the effect of meds.)
 
Yup! O1 isn't too terribly bad, CPM-154 can make your elbows ache, CPM-3V will make a grown man break down in tears. I've learned to cheat like crazy... do as much polishing as possible before HT and do everything in your power to avoid scale/decarb.
 
I try looking at hand sanding as therapy. Of course, I often need to go to physical therapy afterwards to get teh cramps worked out of my hands.
 
Working on to blades back to back A2 and ATS34 was in a hurry to get them to heat treat and did not get them were they needed to be before I droped them off. Thank goodness for the mobile one I'm starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. I knew better when I did it guess sometimes you just have to go back and relearn

God Bless

I totally agree with both those statements! Been there, done that, kicked myself for it :mad:
 
It's all the hardening you tried so hard to get screaming "Be careful what you wish for!". :)
