Greetings,
I am designing a headboard to be forged in the wrought iron style. I only have a few dozen hours experience forging and, aside from a trivet, this is my first attempt at this style of project. Is anyone willing to share some wisdom about the basics of wrought iron? How do I choose dimensions for the bars that are structurally sound but not excessively heavy? Do collars, bradded tenons, and rivets need to be reinforced with a weld?
Thanks for any and all advice.
Best regards,
Jonathan
