Believe it or not, each answer read alone would have been hard to determine what I was actually wanting to know (which is really just general working knowledge of this subject). But reading all of those together was a really good and full reply.
So next question-
With scaling a piece of metal, can I just use a piece of Home Depot A1?
When I'm looking at the flame, do I want something that is entirely blue? Or just a tinge of yellow on the outside? What does a lean flame look like?
Also, double post but the edit button isn't workin on my phone.
Thanks for for the quick replies! I'm pretty new to all things forging and I've been lurking this community for a few weeks. I'm glad I found this. Thanks for the replies!
