Hi, i was hoping to forge my first proper axe this weekend and am just wondering how to stop the inside area where i will weld the bit into from oxidizing. i am planning on a wrought body to the axe with the bit from an old farriers rasp, i have borax for flux but am just a bit concerned if this will be enough to form a good weld, should i wrap the eye and then try and grind the inside with an angle grinder before the bit is welded in?
Probably worrying about nothing but i have never welded something this big before
Thanks
