[TheForge] gate barrings

[debmiller at fuse.net]

I would think any bar stock would work fine. The object would be to have a dust cap integrated into the top to reduce dust infiltration. You might also consider bronze sleeve bushings at the top and bottom.

I know they will eventually wear, but that would be more of a sacrificial component than wearing through the iron.
