So I am starting to explore tomahawks and using different metal in my forge. The more I read the more I get confused on the heat treat and final draw. I was hoping you guys /gals could help me understand.
I am using the following material: ball pein hammer, leaf spring from truck, old farrier rasps.
My understanding the ball pein and rasp, I would draw to nonmagnetic, quench in oil(conola) and then draw out to a brown or blue color. Am I correct?
Spring steel is the funny one. I see heat and tempers all over the place. I was thinking I would do the same as above??
Thanks
