[TheForge] ranite hardfacing rods

[Washington, Aubrey O.]

I do have a propane weed burner, but I don't think that would get the horn up to forging temp. would it?

A propane weed burner should do it.

You just have to keep the face cool. The rest doesn't matter.
You should be able to rent a rosebud. Keep the heat out on the point.

Peter, I may try that if I can borrow a large rosebud from someone.  What do

you think about submerging all but the horn in a tub of water so as not to
disturb the face?
