Dick,
1. Catch your wife and daughter out of the house.
2. Pre-heat the parts and the oven to 500 degs.
3. Weld the parts. Return to the oven
4. Pace the cool down as slow as you can by droping the temp 25 degs. per step
and
get them out of the oven and the house--just before the KITCHEN OWNER
RETURNS---as a
husband I am sure you recognize the importance of the last step. wmts

Subject: Tool Making / Welding
I'm cutting off the open end of a 5/8" combination wrench, then welding the
remaining handle and box end to a 1/2" drive 5/8" socket to create the worlds
most
versatile, all purpose header spark plug wrench. It will have the box end on
one end
of the handle, and the socket on the other. I'm going to torch weld this. In
order
to maintain the proper hardness for tool applications, (so it doesn't bend like
those $2.99 China wrenches, or snap off like those $2.99 India wrenches) when
I'm
done welding, should I:
a. Let it air cool
b. Plunge it in cool water
c. Plunge it in oil
d. Other (like what?)
Thanks
