Fire Doesn't Lie
You can't fake a good weld. The metal either bonded or it didn't — no shortcuts, no talking your way out of it.

Maudslay's second rule: he works with fire because fire is honest. Heat either does its job or it doesn't. The metal either holds or it doesn't. There's no faking your way past that — which is exactly what makes getting it right actually mean something.
About Forge Maudslay
Works with fire because fire is honest — it doesn't lie about whether a weld actually took. Keeps twelve practice brackets lined up on a shelf, worst attempt to best, and treats that row as the real curriculum. "Good weld" is the highest compliment he gives, and he means it exactly as plainly as it sounds.
