Desde Peru un saludo para el amigo Adolfo Vega , en la ciudad de Piura nos enseño a hacer el Colibri de las Lineas de Nasca RECIBA UN AFECTUOSO SALUDO Y FELICITARLO POR LOS TRABAJOS HERMOSOS QUE HACE , he podido ver muchos de sus trabajos y son espectaculares , ojala vuelva a Peru y nos enseñe a forjar y darle forma y porque no decirlo a darle vida al hierro . desde Piura-Peru se despide un amigo.

Hi, wat sort of metal are u using? We've experimented at work with normal mild steel for forge welding with not brilliant results. Any suggestions?

[dbrandow]

@Haesten Mild steel is harder to forge weld than wrought iron, but its definitely doable. There are a number of factors that help: - clean off all scale - use flux (Borax at worst) in the joints - limit the amount of oxygen when heating - make sure both pieces are at the same temperature - make sure you get it hot enough (just at/before sparking) but not too hot (sparking so much it falls apart) - practice - confidence
