1095 warping

I had the same problem and a machinist I work with told me it was because I was quenching it angled a bit in one direction. I made a hook that fits in the very last weight reduction hole and this let's it hang stright up and down when I quench.

Wow, I am just striking out entirely here, my communication skills are taking a nose dive these days. I had no conflict in my heart at all with my last post, I truly meant to correct anything that I may have miscommunicated since I also see us in total agreement. I think I may have been too heavy handed with my on-line communication over the years due the number of folks who see anything but the friendliest of motives in most of my posts :(. This whole internet posting really is one of the least effective methods of true communication mankind has ever devised, with no personal contact or vocal inflections single words out of place can entirely reverse intended meanings. Bubba's post conveys all of my feelings perfectly and, as he states, we are in agreement, just the single word "however" reversed things when I read it and had me worried that I had left the impression in my post that laying a blade on the bottom the quench tank was a good idea. I really must stress that my concern was that I had botched my communication in my original post, and was trying to figure out how to word it better. So no need for reconciliatory diplomacy stabber, things are all good, I just wanted to leave the right impression with my often clumsy writing style.
