Well this IS useful information.

Great thanks guys. I guess Il have to use something else. But what would happen if I did try to forge them? are they just brittle and difficult? or is there some sort of risk involved?

So I have a whole bunch of cast iron weights from old windows. For anybody who hasn't seen what Im talking about they are about 16 inches long and 1 and 1/4 inch wide cast iron and are from windows about 75 years old and were recently replaced. My question is: Is this essentially wrought iron?
I was considering turning them into new curtain rods for the newly renovated windows. -

Hi how is everyone. I am a new member here. I just took a class and was working as an assistant at Penland School of Crafts and someone turned me on to this website.

Vinegar in a crockpot will do it but will take a little while. I work mostly in copper and if you want to go all out get, I like Rio Pickle for non ferrous metals from Rio Grande.
