Form tools on the lathe
#5
Thanks Dave, simple idea but I think it opens up a lot of possibilities for adding that finishing touch to a project. 

On a slightly different topic, when I heat treated the tools I went a little hotter than what is shown in the photo. I used a handheld Mapp gas torch and concentrated the heat more on the cutting edge, wasn't able to hear the full part evenly. Would the colour in the photo be considered carrot orange? Cherry red would be quite a bit redder I assume?
