Thought this would be fun to post when it was going.. This is how i heat treat knifes primarily.. Some stone coal of some sort. Grill briquettes to start em, some engine oil to keep it burning while the coal lights.. and a vacuum cleaner for air.. The thingy is a break drum sitting ontop of a cast iron flowerpot i stoal from the wifeys garden and plasma cut a hole into it.. (that was a fun discussion). ;)

And on side note, this setup melts steel.. really fast.. i have blinked once or twice and the damn knife blade came dripping out through the bottom hole.. And its really hard to "eyeball" the temperature most times.. so i put it in there for a few minutes and hope i can pull it out more or less. =)

..he..he - I've been there with my ceramic chip forge. Suddenly find the end of the bar you are working on isn't there any more.
I hope that you are planning to restore that long armed sewing machine in the background ?

Aye a Singer K29 leather sewing machine? if I not mistaken, I have one myself , built in the days when things were built to last, cobblers used to use them , the arm can reach inside boots etc.
Seems like you have plenty heat there anyway :bugeye:
Cheers Mick

I had no idea what that was i found it in the floor of the shed behind when i pulled out the insides and built me a garage. :)
I was thinking of melting it down and make something other from it at first. Well see. I sense i will get slapped if i do that now though

We want a "back to factory finish" re-build completely documented with photographs, and don't forget it would have had a mirror finish black enamel overcoat :D
