I really needed to learn this technique. I want to make my own hardie tools. Thanks for the video 😀

Good explanations! It almost looks like a RR spike!
I will add a tip for those interested... if you are upsetting a piece that is over approx 15 inches in length, the use if an upset block if your anvil has one, is a big help. My anvil didn't have one so I mounted a 2x4x4 piece of AR500 in the same location (between the anvil feet). A piece of mild steel will work too. This helps with how high the work piece is and makes for easier hammering.
Thanks for the video...

Ok. I’ve struggled with this in the past, but I never realized that I needed higher heat. I’m starting to think I forge colder than I should in general. Thanks
