Started to clean out the shop to get it ready for the Mister setup and got some stuff made!
Upgraded the Dremel Mill, makes nice straight clean slots in synthetic material. I can use this to slot guards and ferrules now!

Shop updates
Been a slow winter. OT at work, stupid cold temps and then the Norovirus hitting put me behind a good bit!
Started to clean out the shop to get it ready for the Mister setup and got some stuff made!
Upgraded the Dremel Mill, makes nice straight clean slots in synthetic material. I can use this to slot guards and ferrules now! Dry Ice Slurry trough: Speed Rail that they use for bar service makes a nice tray! Had to line it with like 6 layers of aluminum foil to make it water tight, but I was able to put around 8# of dry ice into the tray and a gallon of denatured alcohol, which should hit around -108 F! Good enough for a sub zero quench, especially out of the plate quench with a minute or two delay between removing from the plates/foil pouch and into the slurry mix. Insulated it with some foam board and pink insulation to keep it colder for longer. The dry ice lasted a few hours in here! I can also use it for liquid nitrogen pour outs, but it will be much pricier to do! I want to get it sealed up better, so I will be trying to weld it up water tight so I don't need to mess with the foil, or have an inner tray made to fit into it or to use stand alone.

Re: Shop updates
And my plate quench set up!
2 Doyle Carpenter Vise mounted to 2x6 in a vice. These are my 30" long, 1" thick and 4" wide quench plates and I have another set around half the length as well. Once I remove the blade from the oven in the foil pouch, it gets smooshed in here to quench and flatten the blade. Then it goes into the liquid nitrogen or dry ice/DNA slurry for the sub zero step. I used this setup to heat treat, quench and sub zero 6 Shechita blades in 1/16" Magnacut this weekend!
