I am making a mounting plate of sorts for this broke sander I fixed so I can put a bevel plate on it. That board goes in my vise. -
Yeah I was looking on there too. I think I'm just going to shoot for a higher hardness and start at 35° and feel it out. Thank you so much

I don't have a lathe it is 12" × 5/8 I might just do what ranchmanben says it's probably the hardest steel in my shop BC of the tungsten -
I got my grandpa's tools when he passed away and I found a square stock of crucible Rex 49 what I gather from my research is that it's tool steel I was thinking of making either a hot cut chisel or a knife from it has anyone forged this steel before and know any heat treat info like air, oil, water quench and tempering and what temp for how long ECT Title edited to reflect common name of steel

Just a box of dirt, or a simple side blast forge
Blaine replied to Charles R. Stevens's topic in JABOD - Just A Box Of Dirt
Man I thought I had a picture of my camp forge but my first forge was a trench dug in the ground for tuyre with a metal fence pole in it underneath (used cardboard to fan air through) a fire pit shaped of a eye balled mixture of clay sand and tiny broken pieces of wild sage kinda like adobe to form walls. Lol worked if I can I'll get a picture next time we drive up to Pueblo if its still there.
