Thanks! Cleaned with acetone and isopropyl alcohol, once into Brownell's Oxphoblue. Scuffed with green scotch Brite which lightened them up quite a bit. Rinsed im alcohol and into the cold blue again. Then rinsed in water in a collander dedicated to the shop. Air dried and brushed on a bit of oil. I didn't scuff or buff them after the 2nd cold bluing, so not sure how quickly they will lighten with use and wear.Those look great!
What cold blue process did you use?

How do you stake the T-nut? I know the reason its done, just not sure how its accomplished.I tap all the way through and stake the bottom. Studs can't go all the way through but are nice and free all the way to the bottom.
Find an appropriately size ball bearing , place in the bottom of the thread , smack the crap out of it with a good size fine adjustment tool ! This will deform the last few threads and stud will not pass thru .How do you stake the T-nut? I know the reason its done, just not sure how its accomplished.
And if the threads are oversized and fit too loose, just cross-thread them.Find an appropriately size ball bearing , place in the bottom of the thread , smack the crap out of it with a good size fine adjustment tool ! This will deform the last few threads and stud will not pass thru .
