The new cradle/jig was put to use tonight. I was both excited and apprehensive about it. Everything was going to retain heat much more. Anyway, the quench proved my theory, a huge explosion on entry and smoke/steam galore. Its always an apprehensive moment when you pull the parts out of the waterdid it warp? Is the colour OK. Anyway, this was a 75-25 bone to wood charcoal ration this time. The parts have not been oiled yet so these photos show a lot of bright colour that is always tempered down a bit when the oil is applied. In conclusion I belive my jig works and the holding charcoal has produced some nice colours. It's odd how the one side produced (right side) richer bluews and the left gold straws along with blue. I'm just a learned man still learning...











More pictures of this on my blog in the signature.

Cheers
Tony

Thanks for the new pictures. Really nice result, and great projects that you're able to work on. Hope the new system dumps away from the holder/box opener.

Do you think it entered the quench on the left side first or the opposite, to cause the colors different?

Pretty much straight in with the nose of the action first. Must have been charcoal fall away slightly early or something. The straws are nice though. smile

For some reason I seem to remember air being blown into Oscars quench. At 70 I just can't be sure???
