Hate to burst a bubble here, but welding seams shut as in beads or
streamers of metal wasn't done until this century, I know, I'm a welder
in my other life.  If you're talking about placing one piece of red hot
metal on top of another piece of red hot metal then striking the pieces
until they "weld" together...well that's period, just talk to anyone
involved with blacksmithing.
