have indeed seen some of the risks involved, but the blacksmith I learned from
for years used this method to protect the metal from rusting. I do not
believe we ever put red hot metal in, but just hot metal. It always
created a lasting finish on the metal, and his teacher did the same. I
know that if the metal is too hot, it can cause a problem….but I will be
happy to call you and discuss at further length the risks involved…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

before you start quenching hot metal in oil. It has a real possibility of

however do not type and so long answers on email don't work for me.<br>

I have forwarded your message to a blacksmithing friend in the East <br>
Kingdom who can probably answer all the questions you are asking <br>
here. There are also several blacksmithing mail lists available,
some <br>
of which have a number of SCA members on them.<br>
<br>
You might also find some of the files in the CRAFTS section of the <br>
Florilegium useful, such as:<br>
