A nice bit of machine work, you're a talented guy! I've tried my hand occasionally at hardening small steel parts using Kasenit, are you familiar with it? It's especially popular with the gunsmithing trade. All you need in addition to the Kasenit is a torch. You certainly may not match professional hardening but by the file test, the parts I did became surfaced-hardened to an extent. You might want to get some of it and experiment a bit on a rainy day. If you Google Kasenit you'll quite a bit of info, here's one:http://www.gunreports.com/special_reports/accessories/Case-Hardening-Kasenit-american-gunsmith-Annealing-steel1750-1.html
