Just a quick input. Tempering is not a hardening process. Tempering is used to provide some ductility (softer) to something that has been hardened.
As far as using carburizing flames and oil quenches, that will not help. you are not at high enough temperatures and you don't have enough carbon input to change the carbon content significantly. With simple tools, the best you can do is provide the fastest quench possible to get maximum hardness. That means a lot agitation when quenching. If you are quenching with water, use a garden hose with a high pressure stream (sweeper nozzle), or vigorous shaking in the oil. For chisels or wear edges, it probably would be better suited to quench in agitated water and then tempering back some of the hardness (straw color to brown).
