Heat Treating Steel

How is a plane blade or chisel tempered?Well, it involved controlled flame and oil ... in our case, peanut oil. Watch as sharpening guru Ron Hock takes us through the steps – and colors – to temper steel.

Ron's ebook & video (The Perfect Edge) are available by using this link:

Best simple explanation I've ever seen. Thank you.
Ive made knives since i was a kid and im 40 now.
Now i can show people in the auto shop i work in and maybe theyll understand why my chisels stay sharper than theirs. Lol

Thanks Mr. Hock for taking time to explain in such a understandable manner.

I plan on heat treating tire chain links that I've welded, thanks for the info!

good video, I never quench when I draw back, or temper. I either turn off the oven and let it cool slowly cover it in hot sand and let it cool

Ron - why OIL vs water (or even dirt/clay)? --Loved the scientific 'Oh SHIT!' colors.... I've seen them too often.

[Rockanory]

Can you also show us how to heat treat steel or stainless steel wire or springs?

[stevesloan]

you are an expert as you know heat is more at the tip

[ChristopherRogers-ym]

You should try coconut oil and cannabinoid oils you'll reach a much higher flashpoint

[nadkok]

So steel is not supposed to be red hot when you put it in water or oil?

[VidarrKerr]

Does the metal become brittle after this process? I have a spring that works essentially like a clothespin does, but the steel rod will break if you bend it back and forth a few times. There are different treatments, but I have no idea which is the right one.

This process in the video might be it. Thanks!
