This Hot Iron Trick Beats Any Clamp - Video

How do you lock iron bars together with no weld, no bolt, and no glue? This blacksmith wraps a red-hot strip of iron around the joint, and as it cools, the metal shrinks and clamps down tighter than any tool could. A few hammer blows and one chisel cut, and the joint becomes part of the gate.

Would you trust this over a weld? Tell me in the comments.
