November 20, 20178 yr We often forget that the steel we use today, is quite different from the wrought iron that was in general use, back when much of the "conventional wisdom" was formulated. Apples and Oranges. .

November 27, 20178 yr I have a surplus of grounding rods as well. I have forged a couple hooks out of some of it. If you do not taper it down too small, it will retain a little of the copper coating. I started with 3/8 so didn't feel the need to go too small. Also it does work like rebar. Some is easy, some forges alot harder. Im trying to upload a pic, but it keeps giving me an error. I ended up using most of my grounding rods for spinning target frames, to me a more practical use and less headache than trying to forge it.
