I get what Spencer means about the event feeling, but for me the air fryer made treats feel more like a normal part of my week. Like, I'll have crispy fries on a Tuesday now without feeling gross after. The special feeling comes from enjoying the food, not from dealing with a big mess.

We've lost all tolerance for waiting, even for cool stuff.

Totally agree with going Online. I mean, last time I ordered from Direct, it took forever to even get a confirmation. Maybe sign up for their email alerts, they sometimes have restock notices.

With 1095 steel, oil quench is pretty much required to avoid cracks. It lets the structure change slowly, so you don't get those internal shocks anthony129 talked about. @phoenixb34's experience shows how water can be too aggressive for most projects. I mean, the difference in final toughness is huge, oil just gives a more reliable result. Once you ruin a piece with water, you learn to appreciate the slower way.

That little spring is a known weak spot in the FM2. Worth checking the tension on your donor spring to make sure it's up to the job. A weak one will just fail again pretty quick.
