So I annealed this plane blade in my charcoal chimney so I could cut in some teeth, now I want to harden it back to spec, it's a blade from a 1960s stanley handyman plane, I have torches and the capability to make big fires but I really have no idea how to re harden this properly4yr ⋅ saltkjot ⋅ r/blacksmithing
