Stack them, weld the ends, one end has a rod to hold with. Heat, flux, heat to weld temperature, hammer on anvil, heat, twist, hammer flat on anvil...

Right?

welding both ends can cause a problem of buckling, whereas welding only one end allows slippage to get a smooth clean weld. your call. I dont weld at all, I tie wire.

Very nice blade, clean pattern, If you use the tie wire, do you just avoid hitting the wire and move it when needed, or weld it into the pile?

Any special wire or just uncoated steel?

I'm offering simple answers to simple questions. Pattern welds are not simple. And I will not divulge all my hard earned knowledge in a public forum. Sorry guys. PM me and I will help if I can.... just not here. All these questions have already been asked and answered somewhere on this site. I found the info here and so can you. Cheers and thanks for looking!
