Charles, but this topic IS in the bladesmithing section and it IS in the heat treating section and NOT in the ''general blacksmithing'' section.
Everything is where it supposed to be. I can't see the problem?

Best, Vito

Well you know what happens when you "ass-u-me" i was assuming that if Steve said he moved the discusion that was tha isue

It was in both locations. Now it's not.

​I did state that was relocating it in my first post,  because you did not seem to notice we have a separate section for thin sections of steel, or even why thin sections are any different, you did post it in general.   

It is no problem that you didnt remember where you posted this,  or that you did not read my post, except I am attempting to keep subjects together to make it easier for the people that are looking for answers, to find them by subject. and I tried to let you know I did and why.  It is much like in a physical library,  you go to the correct shelf and you can quickly find things, if every one drops all the books in one pile in center of the floor, or what ever shelf is close by, then it takes forever to locate anything.

If you are trying to make blades from this, why not look at the blade making section about this.  hard to find information when you dont look.  I will relocate this to the proper location.

​

​Steve...afterall...isn't this  a forum called ''Heat treating knives, blades, etc.''?This discussion is in its proper location already. I'm not interested HOW to make a knife. I'm interested in identification and therefore heat treatment of this particular steel...
What seems to be the problem?

Steve, some of us appreciate the 'midnight elf' effort, so much you are going to be getting a T-shirt soon

Vito: I retract my previous comments. I misunderstood what you were saying and I know you're either translating to English personally or using a translation program. NO excuse, my bad. I'll read more carefully.

​Good idea Ian! I WONDER where we could get a, "Steve the midnight Elf", T shirt? Hmmmm.

If only we knew some one that printed shirts....

Someone has to email me when you come up with all these good ideas.

 

ALL of them?

Hey hold on a minute, if you give an elf clothing you relieve him of his obligations and he stops(what are you guys thinking) Sorry Steve No T-shirt!

That's a point Ian. How about if we obligate him to keep and care for the T shirt instead of giving it to him? . . . Uh. . .Hmmm . . . I GOT it! A badge, it's a badge of office to identify him, NOT a gift. That way he's still on the hook to keep us from making too big a mess of IFI.

How about color? We should come up with an appropriate color for Steve the Midnight Elf's badge of office T shirt. Don't you think?

How about lilac with a Cherice collar he'll Act grateful but never wear it, except for bed on a cold winters night!   I presume the boss won't mind him showing a 'softer' side

That's only house elves. The tinker elves like the ones who helped that cobbler in that story from days of old... are a different breed. Steve's waaay too surly to be a house elf.

I humbly beg to differ sir, 'twas the cobbler who first lost his elves due to his good wife making clothes for those elves'  and Steve surly? Perish the thought!
