I really like the control you had on the temper, and as TomBrown said in another comment, a few heated rods would be a bit more efficient.

Dennis. As one that has used the hot bar tempering technique many times over the decades. I would recommend using 3-4 bars the same shape. and heat them all in the fire. then rotating them onto the piece you are tempering. this way you don't lose very much heat. and the process will go much faster. great video. love the finished piece.

I remember the original series. The combined video here is a nice review

Hey there Dennis, glad to see you're back!!!

[@MrDukesinner]

Thank you Dennis,now I know what to do with my shorter pieces of bar!Well done sir!!

[@verndahl3848]

thank again Dennis. Like the ideas of making a burn in poker and also leaving a shoulder to drive the knife into the handle. Another project for me to try!

the tempering you show is an awesome tecnique . I like hand/shop/fire tempering just because it brings me closer to what I am doing, chucking it in an oven is far too reliant on technlogy for me. I do use tech dont get me wrong but I consider blacksmithing to be a hands on skill. I've done the punch shoulder thing wrong myself and snapped the whole blade off....not a good moment...you cant reprint language like that lol the skew cut on that edge is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing, this is a great way to show that set of videos

[@sdunca4864]

Thanks for this- its really appreciated and you are totally "my speed" now versus the original! Its appreciated! Ive used a couple of pry bars and the metal isnt very good "out of the quench" so Ill be trying this with some 1084 next- THANKS and subscribed- OG getting inthe shop to finally start tinkering after a lifetime of wishing... If youre ever in VA- coffee's on me!

[@benjhind]

Fantastic. I've started a couple but never managed to see one through to completion

I was watching a Smith using a deep fryer for temple. I got the fryer and Park 50. Any suggestions. This bar trick looks great but needs steady hand Thanks
