I have some thin steel maybe 1/8" thick and 3' long. I want to make a Machete out of this but want to heat treat it, so it is tough. I do not have a kiln and am a beginner. Any help would be appreciated.
Also would it be sufficient to heat treat it in the oven at about 500 degrees? or would it require more? Do I heat treat it before I shape it or after?
