This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Metal Working.

For this BB, you will be repointing and hardening/tempering a pointy tool (pick, mattock, etc) without removing any metal!

To document your completion of the BB, provide the photos or video (<2 min) of the following:
 - The pointy tool that needs repointing and tempering
 - Partway through the repointing and tempering
 - The finished repointed and hardened/tempered a pointy tool
 - The tool used for 10 minutes in its normal conditions and then show the tool still pointy (evidence of decent hardness)
 
Obey! Obey this tiny ad!
