Great project! Just a tip for you or anyone else's ting to do this, if you are sure you have high carbon steel it will make it a lot easier if you sneak it first. This means make it fort, for those who don't know. If you don't have a big enough forge for the whole saw blade (and who does) you can use a torch, just heat it up to critical then put it in some sand to cool slowly. It will soften the steel so it is easier to cut, and make for a more successful heat treat.

Great project!, Just a tip for you or anyone els who is wanting to do this. I would anneal the saw blade (or any other non pre annealed steel). This just means to undo the previous heat treat, you just heat it up to critical temperature and let it cool down slowly. If your forge can't fit the steel just use a torch and heat it up to critical and put it in sand to cool off slowly. this will make cutting with any tool, much faster and make the heat treatment easier too. Again great project!

Sorry! I have been away! a video is up now!

It's up now!! Thanks for reading!

Good to know, Ill change that! ( I often get it mixed up) Video is up!

Congratulations on winning! Your instructable is great! Thanks for sharing :)

My gosh that sounds like quite the story! I'm sure it wasn't as funny then? I've had quite a few people tell me to try and make hard root beer. The trouble would be in gauging your time properly to not get the "ghastly" taste! Thanks for reading!

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I have been away. The ratio would be 4:1:1/3Thank you!

Interesting theory indeed! I've only used organic so unfortunately I can't help to prove it. Although, in the past I have had a bug do the same thing you described but I continued making soda, just to see. It actually came out perfectly fine! I'm not sure why (maybe climate). It may just have to be a gamble in this situation. Also make sure you don't have different ferments going at the same time, beside each other, as they can contaminate and kill each other, who knew! Thanks for reading and for the response!

I get mine from a local health food store but most can be purchased on Amazon or other websites like it. Good luck!
