jfigler Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Hi guys, my local steel/machinist didn't have any mild 1" round bar but gave me 4140 for the same price because I drop by a lot. I was planning on making candle sticks similar to the ones made in this video: Do I need to take any special considerations into account regarding quenching or do I even need to quench for decorative art? I'm new to the game and really only make tools. Quote
Marc1 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Don't you need 20 mm square rather than 25 round? Quote
jfigler Posted November 10, 2017 Author Posted November 10, 2017 Ah, sorry Marc, I linked the wrong video. This is the one I mean the attempt this weekend. Quote
DuEulear Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Definitley avoid quenching if it where me i would save it for punches and quietly source some mild steel from elsewhere and enjoy the deal on 4140 Quote

I could finally make a nice hammer drift I've been thinking about. Quote
