Hi Jan,

Steel that can be harden must be high in carbon. One can burn carbon out of steel by overheating so care must be taken while grinding.

I have a repisy here from Harold Enlow 
He showed me how to harden and or soften steel just with a candle VERY simple
 (As it had to be to teach M E )
Wish I knew how to  bring it from my copier to the puter and I could send it to you all nimcomputes like me 
But I am sure BD must have a copy of it in HIS files and maybe just maybe HE can send it to the list
