Hey Ick....question about files turned into knives....with the file being so hard, does that pose any problems with shaping the blade and ultimately with putting a finished edge on it?
Not Ick but one generally anneals the blade first.

That was a pretty impressive rendition that Neil linked. Kind of a smoother version of Janis. My daughter turned me on to Pink. The more I hear her sing, the more impressed I am with her talent. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

That. You have to heat the steel up to it's critical temp. Depending on the type of steel that is around 1500F and then cool it very slowly. Once it is annealed you can work it easily. To harden it you heat it to 1500F again and then cool it very quickly in oil. At that point it is to hard and brittle. The blade is then heated to about 425F for about an hour to temper the steel back to a workable hardness.

Maybe you had to have been around when she was around to appreciate her music.

No matter how many time I hear her or how well I know the songs she still makes the follicles on the back of my neck wish they had hairs attaches so they could make them stand up. I have good memories of those days, and her music seemed to be playing a lot when those memories were being made. Maybe her music just triggers the memories.
