    Hi gang, We just wrapped up a delightful week of Knifemaking with Tim
    McCreight here. He's an inspiring teacher! We used O1 tool steel and
    hardened it in motor oil. What kind of oil do you all use to harden
    steel? (I am looking for something that won't go rancid and smells
    better than motor oil). Thank you! Kate Wolf in drizzly Portland,
    Maine http://www.katewolfdesigns.com
