ANST - hardening steel

[Carl Chipman]

I was not needing something "Sir-Alexis-specific", I just knew he had some 
of the answers I wanted after talking to him @ crown tournament....

I am wanting information on hardening 18 (and 20) gauge steel for many 
differing armouring needs...

Thanks for the information, I'll check the florigium and see what it 
says... :)
