[Sca-cooks] Fw: [TheForge] Wrought Iron & Restoration Work Advice & Information

[Phlip]

Just picked this up from, TheForge, my smithing List. I'm including Cooks
List among the recipients because of our recent discussion about wrought
iron, so that those of you who are interested in the real thing for cooking
gear, might know what you're talking about, rather than mistaking forged
mild steel for the material.

Saint Phlip,

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
