[QUOTE="Pook, post: 1189966, member: 16813"] No quenching I wanted to leave it it soft...figured I'd rather bend it then crack it. I could of tempered it, to get it a bit stronger but I do that stuff the old school way of judging the steel color. I make tools out of old car parts all the time, chisels, hammers etc, can all be made from old axle shafts, torsion bars and that kind of stuff. I use that kind of scrap steel for basic tools and one off jobs. Tools that are meant for long term use I try and buy or get scrap 4140-4340 cut offs so I know its good material and not fatigued from years of use. [/QUOTE]
