Thanks for this video series. You make this all look so simple. I thought I might have to send work out to a heat-treat shop, but so much can be done with very basic tools. Thanks!
Just today a 1.55" dia. boom / bucket piviot pin about 10" to 11" long, with a greese zerk hole and cross pin hole and I'm going to use 4340 and do an oil quench hardening on it...
HAHAHAHA, LOL!!!! this is the fourth video i've seen of yours and i enjoyed them all..,but i got to tell you, if you never would have taken those pins outside in the bucket to cool, i would have still thought your shop was somewhere on an old ship at the lower section by the coal boilers..that's what i ave been thinking all along, you were somewhere on ship, hahaha but your in the burb's...you have such a cool looking , old fashion, sweat, and blood shop...thanks ..

For a guy with a busted heat pump, I'm grateful for your upload. I swear it's warmer in here. I think I'll just replay it all winter long. THANKS!

Where these are machinery pins, why wouldn't you go for a 4140 induction hard chrome material? no heat treatment needed just machine and go.

I love the sirens in the background when you're stuffing the pins into the stove. Crash, boom, bang, crash, weeeeeoooooo, weeeooooooo..
