Well I have had this bug for a while to make something and the other day I was reading through this forum and looking at some of the DIY posts and now I'm really curious. I have read through some of the posts here and watched some youtube videos to get a feel for what it takes but I am completely clueless and hung up on the heat treating. I would most likely work on the knife with hand tools (because who has 1600 for a belt sander for their first knife) but I don’t think I feel comfortable with the homemade heat treating setups I've seen. So, school me on heat treating.
Is there someplace local that does it?
What are the wait times like?
What are the costs like?
What questions should I be asking?
Also, is there a good source to learn about the different types of steel for someone who doesn't have a chemistry background?
Thanks for the info guys!
