Ok thanks that cleared up some things that where really confusing for me.

Thanks for the input I was scratching my head all morning wondering how will I get by without a oven, but if it's possible to do it in a charcoal forge I'm up for it, just I have a question when I get it to the right color in the charcoal forge do I let it just air out and cool down, or do I quench it again? I saw someone quenching it after tempering it in a forge so I got a bit confused
