I have a friend at work who forges his own knives and swords. He asked if my induction heater can get his iron bricks hot enough.

Here we go...induction forging video

Any thoughts or suggestions from those how work with hot metals?

I had a friend over who does some swordmaking. He had a warped blank and wanted to see if we could easily heat so he could fix it before grinding it.
