[@MarkATrombley]

You could go wrong with it if you accidentally set it on fire.

[@StuartdeHaro]

Yes. Yes you could. I stand corrected.

Hi Stuart.I am taking the oportunity that you and KZbin offer me and thank you to all of you that give something for nothing..This little story I hope only support you and your chanel and all that you are saying.As a jewelry teacher in the USA I made alot of punches chisels,dies,etc using tool steel from the store and regardless of being O,W,A etc I used a regular gas torch to heat and water to quench.I anealed to straw color and I was right on the money for more than thirty years.Back in Spain I continued doing the same and the same degree of success,BUT I am doing machining now in my shop and yesterday I had a problem for the second time.I am machining a bolt from the store with my home made tool steel bit and the bit is waring off.HA! I decided to heat with a different torch and quench in cooking oil and no anealing.BINGO!Wright on the money again.It cuts fine.Thank you.

Stuart this is awesome. I've been asking this question and now I have the answer or can now find the answer. Thanks a million.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Thank you very much Stuart for this new Machinist Book Club. It adds a great feature to an already outstanding channel ✅👍

[@StuartdeHaro]

Most people seem to think so. There is this one guy though... I guess you can't please everyone.

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Looks like a great reference. I have a few books on heat treating, but they don't lay it out as well as this book.

[@allpraisebob]

I've been looking for a good book on heat treatment for a few weeks now and your review sold it for me. Now I can expand my ability to produce scrap from the lathe and mill to the heat treat furnace!

[@StuartdeHaro]

We owe it to ourselves to continually figure out new ways of making scrap. Never stop learning everyone!

[@Jims-Workshop]

Great book review! Thanks a bunch. 👍

[@StuartdeHaro]

You're very welcome!

[@dannywilsher4165]

Another good book review!

[@doctorevil7352]

Thanks for the book reviews Stuart. Just got the Machine Shop book a couple days ago in the mail. It`s just as awesome as your videos, much appreciated. Just ordered this book, it will be in Saturday. Any more suggestions are always welcome brother. Thanks for the vids, you are inspirational and hilarious.

[@StuartdeHaro]

I have quite a few more books that I'd like to review so stay tuned.

[@Dans-hobbies]

I'm going to have to add this to my reading list!

[@felixf5211]

Same

[@StuartdeHaro]

One of these days I'm going to have space for a furnace. Then the world will be mine! Muahahaha! Oh, I mean then I’ll probably make some cool stuff. Not a death ray or anything. Who brought up death rays? I certainly didn't.

[@kimwood7718]

Thanks Stuart ....bought the first book you recommended, you were spot on it was a great book even if a little dated. Keep up the great work I enjoy all of your videos

[@joell439]

[@LetsRogerThat]

Thanks Stuart, I ordered a Hot Shot 1200 from Stan, so this book will be useful. Just ordered it. Gilles ;)

[@StuartdeHaro]

Nice! I keep saying I'm going to save my money for one, but there always seems to be something else that needs it more.

[@westweld]

I used your affiliate link so if they dont give you your .30 cents you send them a nasty email 😉👊

[@StuartdeHaro]

I don't think I have ever actually gotten anything from the affiliate links.

[@westweld]
