Hey guys, I am new to the site and new to smithing. I have learned a lot from you guys, thanks for the info. I like to keep things traditional, use little to no electricity, make my own tooling and try to generally prepare myself to be a craftsmen in any scenario regardless of what I may it may not have at my exposal. While learning, how can I read what the temp of my work piece is until I learn what the color looks like. And is the color wheel farely universal from steel to steel? Will high carbon, ms, and tool steel ( say D2 for example) be the same color at the same temp in the same light?
