I havnt been a smith for an insane about of time only about 6 years but Iv never really ever attempted to forge weld other than some steel cable I made some oyster knifes with iv tried today actually to forge a wrapped eye axe using some I belive mild steel I found laying in my junk pile with some 5160 for bit but no matter how I tried I could not get the mild steel to weld (many attempts with many different pieces) was wondering if any one could help me I'm sure I got it hot enough I used Flux cleaned it off but no stick
Wow you are a top level blacksmith till the end I thought you where a old man who had been forging his entire life

Make sure your welding surfaces are clean and flat. The less gaps, the better it’ll go. Also try to soak it at welding heat for a bit between welds.
