THANK YOU, MAC!
You Da man!
I will try it next week whe I will try to get some actual Forge Time in at an old fasioned smithy.

Oh, Hey - when your treating the blade, instead of sand , can't you use crushed coals? I heard this will increase the steels carbon content with repeated use. True or false?
