Thanks so much guys and thanks to Scott for his post. You make it sound almost easy Scott. I'm torn between the smart thing and
the desire to make something out of what I already have. It's not about the money but the story and the history. These files come from my community and in some cases my own family. You don't honor your community by producing a piece of junk though. Maybe I can do something in between. Are you saying Scott that these old files can be annealed (I guess that's the right term) and then hardened and tempered again? I realize that it might be risky. A little risk keeps your heart pumping. My wife has an electric ceramic kiln. I think that thing will go up past 2000 degrees. Why wouldn't that work?
