Had a week where every weld went wrong no matter what I tried
Last Tuesday I snapped three chisels in a row on the same piece of leaf spring steel, then my forge blower died halfway through Wednesday, and by Friday I'd burned through a whole tank of propane just trying to get a simple scarf joint to stick - has anyone else had a run like that where you just want to throw your hammer across the shop?

Yeah man, that's just how it goes sometimes. You're making blades, not brain surgery.

Hold up, I learned that the hard way a few years ago. A little more oil on the blade and a slower feed rate, @amy_reed79, and you'll get a way cleaner finish without burning the steel.
