Stephen Jones Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 FC what you could try is using a piece of flexible hose to connect the dryer and the forge. you could then cut a slit in it and use a bit of cardboard or thin sheet as a slide to regulate the airflow or use a bit of firm pipe and cut a hole in it and use a bit of cardboard to make a collar you can slide over the hole to control air lost.

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Another thing to consider is that a rasp has tons of potential cracks from all of those stress risers, AKA teeth. I would anneal it as stated above. Heat red, and bury in fluffed up gray wood ashes. It will be dead soft in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forging Carver Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Alright thanks for he help guys. This morning I fir d up the forge to forge another knife that has its own post and I hardened this one and I guess I got a bit excited and didn't remember to anneal. Luckily I do not think here are any cracks. Do you guys quench when tempering or let air cool? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
