Bruce,
Awesome job on the hand vise!
Where the heck did you find a left hand thread wing nut to pin onto the screw?
Doesn't matter, I like it right down to the handle!
Regarding heat treating: what did you make the jaws out of??
Low carbon? Only option is case hardening.
Anything you might do at home with a torch is likely to give only a very shallow depth. Might call a commercial heat treating place near you to inquire about carburizing.
Explain your situation, they "might" give you a deal.
