I have talked to him and he is fine with it. I've started a U guard. I was REALLY smart to try and use 304 for my first one. At least I don't have to worry about it going too fast. It's coming along so far, just need to be patient. I may have work hardened it by accident which sucks because I havent drilled the pin holes in the guard yet but I will try and anneal it.
Just so that I am straight on this, I have read that to anneal 304 you heat to a bright red and quench in water? Sounds counter-intuitive.
