Well, we have a make shift forge built. We cut a 50 gallon drum in half, put some dirt in the bottom, put fire bricks on top of the dirt for the base. Built a oven chamber with fire bricks and stuck a weed torch inside. Got hot enough to turn steel red hot. Is red-hot hot enough? We were able to manipulate the hot steel but when it comes to forge welding pieces of steel together for various reasons, will it be hot enough? Have watched videos on how to build a burner but do I really have to? I have gone through the internet but its always better to get the information first hand. Thanks.
