Finally got a clean weld on that tricky Damascus billet
Honestly, I've been fighting with this one piece of 1084 and 15N20 for like three weeks, my forge just wouldn't hold the right temp. Yesterday I finally got a solid, even heat and the layers stuck on the first press. What's your go-to trick for keeping a steady temp when forge welding?

Steady temps are overrated, just hit it harder.

Just hit it harder" is the kind of advice that leads to broken tools and a lot of swearing. I can picture you, oliver_mitchell, saying that right before something snaps in half. Steady temps might be overrated for you, but some of us like our results to be predictable and not a total mess. This feels like the cooking version of just guessing on all the measurements.
