[Woodcarver] Knife making question

>>>>> 

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 
 
Sorry Jan, but I don't have a copy.  I heard him tell of his candle trick one
time but never got anything in writing.

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
