I was worried, too, but I'd already tried a file on the bar and it's 
not hardened, which surprised me, so it seemed likely to work. Before 
asking Bill, the welder, to weld up the good bar, I gave him a junk 
one to practice on. That went without incident, so he welded up the 
good rod. The welding was done with TIG, using a high alloy filler 
rod that he would also use on steels like 4130. I'll try to get the 
number for that rod.
