  1. On some recent episode of the Forgecast one of them mentioned a technique to test for forge welding heat. They forge a piece of mild steel down to a very fine point and use it to poke the piece in the forge. If it sticks, the work is ready for welding! The way it works, is that fine point gets to welding temp right quick in a hurry and welds itself to your work-piece. So if you poke it and have to sort of wiggle it off you're ready to go. Haven't had a chance to try it myself, but the guys on the podcast seemed to have success with it.
