Elmer Roush is nationally known for his traditionally forged colonial era trade axe/tomahawks. Here, he demonstrates how he prepares the 1090 tool steel to scarf weld onto the tomahawk body. Two key points to note: 1 - he leaves the piece longer than needed so he can easily hold it with the tongs and manage it in the forge; 2 - he cuts mostly through it with a hot cut so he can break off the extra after he forge welds it.
Forge welding (or fire welding) is a traditional method used to weld 2 or more pieces together in blacksmithing.
