a few weeks ago there were some posts on how to make you own jumbo sockets. Well as bored as I was, I decided to make one for a 2.5 inch nut. Actually wasnt that hard to do once you get down to it and my socket came out nice. LAst part of the post was advise on tempering. Said to heat to 'straw' color, quench in oil and reheat to 500*.

(Not a trained welder..just learned everthing by trail and error and having fun doing it..)
