There’s a vid of a blacksmith on Uboob getting all up in Rosie O’Donnel’s grill about her ass statement of fire not able to melt steel. The smithy took some 1/4 x 2” steel flat bar to 1600F which is substantially below structural steel melting point. His point was to show steel’s properties needed to support most anything pretty much turn to mud at that temp. The heated bar was in a vise, and the smithy was able to flop that bar 90 degrees back and forth merely using one finger to do so.
Rosie still hasn’t explaind how people made iron swords during the Iron Age. Idiot.
