Welcome to the ABS forums -- I see this is your first post. Ebay is a good source as well as Craig's list.

When searching ebay, do your normal searches -- which I imagine you already have. Then search for "Blue M furnace" and "Heat Furnace". The word furnace is a term used in industry for basically the same thing we call a heat treating oven. While you have to wade through the $10000 ones, there are often more reasonable older models for sale as well.

Welcome to the forums DW.

I second what Brian has advised you to use for a starting point. You could also find a local blacksmith group by searching Google and the ABANA website. Many times there are bladesmiths among the blacksmiths and one of them may know where a heat treat oven is.

I would like to add that by filling out the information section in your profile your location will be seen by all, and someone in your area might pipe up with the information you seek.

Good Luck <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//wink.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />
