Hi Robert
Thanks for the information
I assume tig and the heat sink paste and was used to minimise the heating to the tempered part if the blade and the warm sand to just help maintain the tempering also.
If undertaking such work again could you perhaps take a few pictures if time allows.
I successfully welded via arc an attachment onto a leaf spring which amazingly did not soften the spring too much, nice to see how others approach their projects
Again very nice work
