wagon wheel tire
bubby:
If it's wrought iron I would like to get my hands on a little Pat
Pat B:
How do I know if it is wrought iron?
ssgtchad:
Take a small sample heat it to critical, quench, it then slap it on your anvil, If it shatters it's probably good steel to forge a blade. I'd think that the road wheel would be made from a good quality steel, seeing that it has to hold up to alot of friction, bumps etc. I dont think wrought iron would hold up.
PaulN/KS:
I've got an old bent up one that I found stuck in the rocks by a pasture. It rings like a bell when ya whack it...
Never have done anything with it except move it out of the way a bunch a times. ::)
Pat B:
I have no way of cutting or heating to any significant temperature. Maybe I make a gong out of it. :OK
