Appreciation post: my old boss in Dayton called forge welding 'showing off' and I spent 6 months thinking he was right
Turns out he just never learned it right, and after a guy at the Columbus meetup walked me through a scarf weld in about 20 minutes at his coal forge, I've been using it on handles ever since, so now I'm wondering how many other 'that's just showing off' skills I skipped out on.
