Yeah, we'll load the photos of our trips onto a computer and play the
slideshow in his garage so the KTM won't miss a moment :)

I think you've left him some ambiguity BT...

Being tediously pedantic, I'd agree that hardening/tempering must be
followed by grinding, to fix inevitable deformation. But then diameters
change, so the part might not be usable any more!
Tempering has been used here in place of the correct term hardening, but
it's just a post-hardening process to decrease brittleness. Both are
"heat treatments".
Waz's demonstration is thoroughly clever, cheap and easy.
See "World's Fastest Indian" for home brewed inspiration.

What could be ambiguous about washers? http://bit.ly/ccmINq
Stacks of 'em... even better :)
