Thanked: 1936HT is done, just came in to temper. My oil was at approx 50F (same temp as it is outside), so I heated the oil to "warm" with a couple of rods that I keep around for such purpose. I kept forge as close to 1500F as possible, but didn't keep the probe in the fire while the blade was in. I would check and it stayed pretty constant once stabalized. Each blade would take a few minutes to heat up and I would start timer once they started to coalesce (sp?). The only part that may not be hard will be the monkey tail as this is where I used the tongs. I believe one blade warped, but will give them a good looking over once they have tempered...which they are doing as we speak.
