Watched a guy at the forge try to weld rusty rebar to mild steel last Saturday

He kept piling on flux and cranking the heat till the whole thing was just a smoking blob. Took him 45 minutes and three rods before he asked me for help. How many of you have seen someone ignore a clean joint and just blame the metal?

Reminds me of the time I spent an hour chasing a flame with my own torch before realizing I forgot to open the gas valve.

Funny how we always blame the tool first before checking the obvious stuff.
