I run one tank at a time. With 5burners I will freeze up a tank in January and have to switch.
Love hammering steel, and so does my tendinitis lol

Was watching that forge champions show on Discovery last night.
Had them making steel bows and then some cross bow lookin' thing. Scary lookin'
One failed and grenaded, the others worked pretty well achieving 200 FPS velocities!

Per recommendation, ceramic belts have arrived, in size #60 grit.
...and something to cook some steel in.

I use peanut oil and finish blades at a minimum of 120grit before heat treat.
It all works once you get the recipe figured out

Make sure you leave the blade “edge” thickness a little beefy to prevent the knife from warping in the quench oil. Basically get the edge clean and center and then dull it on the belt to the thickness of a pencil line before the quench

That's basically what I did. Actually took too much off, then dulled it like you said.
