Tim, I really appreciate you including the failure shots on the attempts at the weld as it is something that can be very fiddly and its reassuring to see even someone of your skill it can take a few tries. Thank you.

All those failed attempts and not a single hammer thrown. You are a man of tremendous patience. Well done Sir!

Tim that came out great! I can hardly tell you how encouraging it is as a newbie blacksmith to see someone with a lot more experience like yourself struggle through learning a process, I could see myself in those shots where you are fumbling for your hammer, dropping the work, trying to smooth out your workflow. Makes me feel better about not getting it right on the first try! Just gotta keep trying!

"I'm out of half inch round bar." Proceeds to make some out of scrap! Some impressive forge welding on a small surface area. Nice lap joints. "I don't have any short bolts." Proceeds to make some just because he can. Fascinating as always. Keep the forge lit, eh! 🔥

Great stuff, Tim!!! Trick I picked up early on in my journey was using a big thick piece of plate to preheat your anvil. Really helps when you're working in the cold or welding small pieces. The anvil doesn't wick as much heat away as quickly.

Very cool project, and I love watching you mastering the old drop the tonger forge weld. Something that helps me when I’m building a piece for a client and it needs to be right the first time is to scarf the pieces for a traditional weld then align them and tack them together with the mig welder. The forge welding incorporates the mig weld back into the parent stock and having the pieces pre positioned eliminates the frustration and material loss of multiple attempts.

I’ve been watching your videos for the last few months and it’s so fun watching you beat in metal and make cool stuff. Ive been a glass worker for the last 6ish years so it’s really cool to see similarities in the way heat base is applied to pieces being joined and seals needing to be worked into each other but it’s seems like glass is all thinking and small delicate adjustments; while metal seems like a more balanced act between using force and thinking about the material needs to make solid and visually appealing items.

Forge welding still looks like actually wizard style magic to me and I can't wait to be good enough and have good enough kit to even attempt a forge weld. That rail came out looking awesome and I've seen someone with a similar forge who has a rail on the hood as well. It looks so cool when they are both full of tongs and other tools. For me, that would mean I have 1 rail for each of my pairs of tongs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I did say that I'm a way's off being able to try a forge weld.
