I left them at 1000c for 20 mins. They were glowing like this when I took them out
All cooled and they ended up like this. Beautifully annealed and now easy to cut with a file.
I threw in the end I cut off the knife. The edge stayed the same. No damage burning or melting like I experienced in the forge. To be fair it was operator lack of skill that caused the issues. The furnace is so much easier to use for a novice

It looks a canny bit thicker in the pictures , I was just wondering if the chopper/clever type blade will have enough weight to it .Looking foward to seeing it done .

It’s a mini one, more like a fancy knife than a proper chopper
Last year I restored a proper chopper, big enough for dinosaur butchery. I’ll dig out some pics

Come on now, we live in a PC world. He can have what ever he wants, weather I give it or not is another matterI don't think he'd be wanting some of your chopper.

I’ve had it for a few years, it’s it first proper outing. Got it from a place that was gonna Chuck it in a skip.....
That's criminal on 2 levels. 1, someone was throwing it in the skip and 2, you got there before I did!

What is its maximum rated temperature? A muffle furnace like that could be very handy. I've been using my normally-aspirated propane forge for occasional heat treatment. An oven like yours would eliminate a lot of the messing about and guestimation for fuel-air mixture and temperature...much more convenient to simply flip a switch.
