Thanks for all the response, me and a friend took turns with a sludge and we switched from my small coal forge to a propane speedy forge, went through about 4 gallons of propane and flattened out part of it... I think to save some fuel and time I'm going to go with steponmebbbboom's advice and get some flat bar and make the curling leaf and then weld it into the large stock.

Hello, I'm trying to forge out some really thick mild steel 2" into a curling leaf wondering any tricks for heating it, I was trying with a coal and charcoal forge with a pretty good size pile and just couldn't get it past a dark red... Any ideas would be helpful...
