I just signed up for a blacksmithing class. The instructor isn't

A properly welded joint can be forged with no problems - even with 2
different alloys welded together.
Thanks. Now I'll find out if I can still weld a proper joint, as I
learn to beat on something until it's pretty.
Does that seem backwards?
