[TheForge] Forge welding

[Saint Phlip]

Well, got to thinking- not sure how your ears are, but there's a sound
that will help too. You know how when your metal cools as you're
working, and the thumps get sorta tinkly and clangy? Well, if you make
a good strike welding, it sounds more thuddy than when you're working
at the usual heats. I think if you get it, and you're paying
attention, you notice.

Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

It's the smith who makes the tools, not the tools which make the smith.
