Good , you're wearing safety glasses. Many times i see people working in machine shop wearing no safety glasses, i can't beleive.

[loyeti]

is it really wrought iron or just mild steel?

[pancakepie2]

@loyeti It looks like cold-rolled mild steel to me. Isn't wrought iron cast from iron?

[loyeti]

@pancakepie2 wrought iron was made from gray cast (or pig iron) puddled in puddling furnaces till it became a big spongy bloom floating in a pool of slag, once taken out was worked (hence wrought) at a power hammer then rolled...

the material although is an iron compound is completely different from mild steel

[pancakepie2]

@loyeti WOw...Didn't know that. I would love to learn how to cast my own wrought iron into porch decorations like the old plantation houses (like New Orleans ironwork) , but I don't know a thing about it yet. Thanks for the info.
