[TheForge] Sorry to break in with a blacksmithing question

[xlch58 at swbell.net]

You know, you either prattle on about music, books and bs while the 
channel is idle waiting for blackmsithing questions or you answer all 
the "is this thing working" messages.   I would rather the music and 
books thread.   Regarding your question, weld , then aneal then harden 
and temper.
