Thanks for the compliments Frank and I'm glad you are enjoying the build. My thread on the Steven's Favorite is being hosted here on Hobby Machinist and over on MetalworkingFun. It's idle at the moment, because I've had to take time out to work on a paying project for a while, but I'll be getting back to the Favorite soon. The latest push has been getting set up to drill and rifle the barrel.
If you are looking to build a heat treat oven, I've recently discovered a digital control that is inexpensive and would work very well. All you would need is the control, a high temp type K thermocouple and a solid state relay to control the resistance element in the furnace. You can check out the control on this thread. Also, this guy goes into great detail about how to build a furnace built around a heating element for a kiln. You may want to purchase his book on the subject.
