Anybody here fix their own flats? :) Am I the only one crazy or just plain stupid enough to do that? :/
Anyway I was thinking about doing a little black smithing on one of my tire irons. A couple of them are Ken-Tool and spark like 4140 excpt they have a little bit more carbon in them. Hmmm... didn't try it next to 5160 but the stuff has quite a bit of Moly in it anyway.
What do you think of steel like that? Hot short? Or some other funny blacksmithing terms I never heard of before? ;)
They make one that's got a wave to the spoon that I think would be real handy but I wasn't impressed by their design I'd like to modify it and so if I'm going to heat it up and do that, might as well use an extra one I've already got. ;)
Anyway what do you guys think? :)
I'll practice on some other stuff first but what's medium carbon moly steel like to work with, got any cautions or suggestions?
