Farce....

If the cast Iron is of good quality...no casting fisuers...it can be engraved. Cast iron is fairly

soft so it should not be hard to cut.

Not to hard to engrave on cylinders....of course, that depends on the diameter....larger, easier

smaller, harder. Thanks to both of you for asking.

Your probably right USTA...

Not a good idea. I don't get cut often...but sometimes I do....and gladly, most of the time not to bad. Chain-mail might be better than a glove.

Nice lithograph. Can this be dun to cast iron? I ask because I'm conspiring a beautiful stirling engine.

[Bear5177]

That's impressive. Are there "starter" engraving kits available for beginners? Also, that fixture looks interesting. Custom made?

Good job! I wouldn't brush that piece off without a glove on though. Burrs are a son of a gun :)
