A wise smith once told me this . Tack weld the 2 bits together ( ARC ) , put in fire , heat where you want to weld ( get nice & hot ) , Weld " in the fire " . Take out of fire , flux should almost fall off as it cools a little ,. Hammer the weld to look like a " real " forge weld . Thank you Bill Epps , a real niffty trick . Dale Russell
