Repairing the Unique
#9
I have to say, I'm impressed with the difference heating made. Puts a significantly darker finish on. I only had time to do one coat, but I look forward to doing a couple more today.

I just don't understand this "New Economy"... I looked at McMaster, and couldn't find the spring so I looked at music wire. They sold it by spool and by 1' sections in a 10-pack. The spool was about $25, plus shipping. The short rod package of 10 was about $12, plus shipping.

So I looked on Amazon, and the spool (which in .016", contains 366 feet) was $14 with free shipping and arrived yesterday.

In other news, since we discussed heat treatment, my wife has expressed an interest in making enameled pins for our athletic club, so an electric furnace and a gas foundry may be in my near future!
