[TheForge] andiron bar replacement

[PlumDon at aol.com]

That's really pricey, Jim. I have some inconel studs holding the insulation  
to my forge door and they do hold up well, even in that heat. I just mig 
welded  them to the inside of the door. Is it harder to weld in large sizes? 
 
I dont know what a 3/4" square x 3' bar of stainless would cost but  methinks 
cheaper.

Inconel  625 will last a lot longer (probably forever) but is somewhat  
pricey  (3/4" dia bar 3' long is 189.00) and difficult to weld
