April 20, 20179 yr I have four steel rims that used to be on a leased Mazda 3. They've stayed in my garage, as I thought I would resell them down the line. I never did and now the wife says to do something with them or throw them away. Is the steel usable to forge something, if cut into smaller pieces?
April 20, 20179 yr Use them as bases for bench grinders, tools, post vises (although they usually aren't heavy enough), post bases for fans, lights...all sorts of things. After you cut them up, you'll find a lot of uses for them had they been left intact...Murphy's Law.
April 20, 20179 yr They'd make excellent bases for different shop tools. There are pictures on here somewhere where people used steel circles as bases for a post vise or for a bench grinder. Or you could use it to build a deadman/third hand/whatever else they're called to provided extra support for large objects sticking out of the forge.
April 20, 20179 yr How about a wood stove? Never forged any, but seems like good stuff - welds nice........
May 9, 20179 yr Make a wheel rimmed fire pit. If they haven't been utilized by now or crushed into a steel bale. Rail spikes make good legs for them. Fire gooood! Scott.
