[TheForge] Possible return of Pure Iron to the USA

[Bruce Freeman]

I've been saying this for some time.  A few sizes should do, especially
if you have a power hammer to do the drawing out.  But even if you
don't!

A few years ago we had a demo on Long Island where a bar of 1" square
was forged out COLD under a power hammer.  I don't recommend this, but
it does show how the stuff can move.  (Obviously, it's too soft for
structural members, but it's too expensive for them, too.)

If the stuff is as easy to forge as everyone says you could save
yourself some inventory by only stocking larger sizes. They
could then be forged down for a project.
