Was dead set against using a finisher on forge welding, now I'm a convert

I always thought a power hammer or press was cheating, but after 15 failed welds on a damascus billet last month, I rented time on a 25-ton press and got it done in 3 heats. Anyone else cave and start using tools they swore they'd never touch?

Tools are tools, no need to get dramatic about it.

60 percent of carpenters use the same hammer for 20 years.
