I need a slim pattern wrench for the lathe.

Are you making one, or asking someone else to make one? If the latter, we'll need a lot more details!

I'm knocking one out. First is a trip through the shaper to slim it down a bit.

Ready to heat treat. It's A2, and pretty soft.

Put some radius on the handle! Or put a bicycle handle on it.

Soaking at 1700 degrees. Quench time shortly.

Quenched and tempered twice. Not entirely pleased with my antioxidation coating. It worked in spots.

The furnace is pretty slow, so it took a couple of hours to get up to the soaking temperature.

I used a blast of compressed air to quench, followed by 2 tempering visits to the slowly cooling furnace. First temper was dark blue, second was dark straw.

Now on to blast and parkerize.
