This could be a really dumb question. I was watching tv and seen that they can make diamonds from the carbon from human hair. This is done at high heat and pressure. My question is: Has anyone tried to add carbon to mild steel using human or pet hair? If not, could someone try this and let me know if it works?
Best Regards

How to add carbon to steel.

Thanks Guys
That just sounded like it would work.
I will have to give it a try as soon as I get set up. I have no experiance in this art. I just got my anvil this summer and the only thing I made was a set of skidding tongs in the fire pit using a piece of pipe and my wifes hair blower.
I only read one book (New edge of the anvil) about 2 years ago and forgot most of what I read.
I made a small mini forge for hardening and tempering some woodworking tools. Worked OK but not good engough for large pieces. Thats it. Can't wait to get started.
Thanks again. Randy
