I hear ya, I guess I shoulda waited til i was fresh again, I found my limit ,six times before lunch gets a geezer tired, that was the last time for that day. Why didn't the first guy have a camera?

it really is impressive how just the friction of the hammer hitting cold steel is enough to get it that hot. at least I've always been impressed by it.

I've seen video of a fellow taking 1/4" square to what looked like a yellow heat that way. I tried it once, with no success. Recently I was drawing some stock to a fine point over the horn, and when it got it down fairly small I did notice that it was getting brighter with each blow. But that was starting with red hot iron in the first place.
