I want to make some fingerplanes for guitar bracing, mandolins, violins, etc.
After looking at commercial blades (pricy, at $14-$20 per blade at japan woodworker), I was thinking of making some out of O1/W1 steel.

While I know that plenty of people have done metalworking (particularly George Wilson), has anyone used the kitchen stove for heat treat?
In the apartment where I live, there's a gas stove and a metal (nonflammable) sink.
I don't suppose that I can heat treat some blades with it, and anneal it in the kitchen oven.

Anyways, I'd appreciate if someone could tell me if it's doable....or a really, really dumb idea.
