How high can you get it with tongs right now?
Approximately not, not enough.
The problem is, is gripping onto this thing with tongs is painful because it weighs 13 pounds.
If and when it catches on fire, what should we do?
Uh, probably just tip over the quench tank.
Yeah.
And then run outside.
Yeah.
Screaming.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Where was Gondo when the shop burned?
Oh, quenching a hunting knife.
It's so scary, but this is like actually kind of scary.
Yeah.
People have burned their shops down doing a lot less.
The sword has been at 1525 degrees for 15 minutes.
Let's give it a shot.
Okay.
Oh, this is going to be...
I'm very nervous.
Yeah.
It's going to be cool though.
Ready?
Yeah.
Oh, that is not hot enough.
That's a bummer.
Torch.
We are out of oxygen, folks.
Out, out.
This is not ideal.

Nice.
That didn't go.
Yeah.
Cool.
Might be hard even.
Oh.
Wow.
It's a really good thing we didn't put more oil in.
Yeah.
