What great teamwork! I once handed a sledge I was holding in my right hand to a friend and he promptly dropped it on his foot. It was a 20# sledge, and I guess he wasn't used to it.

Hi! Are you sure it would be that weak?I believe good modern steel forge-welds are about 70% as strong as plain steel (data from a blacksmith). This must've been wrought iron, not steel, which should weld a lot better, or at least, more easily.I'm not quite sure about all this, so feel free to add :)

Well, it was strong enough to fuel the industrial revolution!

In terms of scientific views nowadays, not mentioning safety aspects of any sort, the way the weld that's forged in video was pretty weak... residual stresses' like so rampant on the welds lol! Now its more of fusing the weld with that sparkling thingy.

my statement has absolutely nothing to do with feeling miserable. as for the rest of your statement well, never mind, I can tell now we see life in a completely different sense. To each his own, and I will say that you read way way deeper into my comment than it went, or othor words you put words in my mouth and totally over thought that statement

I wonder Why do we have to be miserable to feel alive ? Why do we have to do something hard and intense to justify our self esteem ?Putting high expectations, is because we ask irrational glory to cover and promote our own ego and beliefs... I've noticed that getting along and collaborating with other people, no matter the situations, is the most giving and rewarding. Too bad we continuously need to have an external menace to do that, overlooking the real menace that hides in our fears.
