    If 'porter' holes were used to hold & manipulate the anvil while being forged, what purpose would 'porter' holes in cast anvils?

    Frazer What temperature would you sugest heating the oil to?

    Frazer, to answer your question, no the peice did not harden at all & the oil is starting at room temperature (about 67* F), & I am making a hot cut hardie. & BIGGUNDOCTOR, I did try water, again at room temperature. same results: not hard.

    I am relatively new to blacksmithing but have gotten far enough to know when something is not getting hard. I use Canola oil as my quenching medium & have succesfully hardend two chisles, & two punches from old coilspring. But I have recently purchased some 4140 & have made some more tools out of it but it seems unable to harden. If anyone has any suggestions I will accept them gratefully.
