Restoration of 2 vintage surface gauge

Hey all, not sure on dates for these 2 surface gauges.

I got them in a job lot auction with lots of lathe tooling.

Cleaned them both up and ready to be put back to work.

They both looked pretty bad when I got them, happy with how they came out!

Temper info for random spring steel

Hey guys.

I forged this knife from coil spring steel a friend gave me, I'm not sure what steel it is.

Forged and hardened it yesterday and all went fine, can anyone suggest how long and at what temp I should temper it?

Thanks

Hardened and tempered my hammer today

Thanks everybody for the information last week.

Got the hammer quenched (I used water) and tempered it.

Sat the hammer on a hot drift and tempered that way, worked great and I'm really happy with it!

J Rabone & Sons machinist level

Hey everyone.

I picked this level up in a box of machinist tools I bought at auction. Lots of other cool prices in there but this is my favourite

Heat treating a hammer

Hi guys.

Today I reshaped a random 2.5lb hammer I had spare. I don't know what steel it is, any suggestions on heat treat?

Pretty happy with how this came out so far, i think this is a french style cross peen?
