6. The materials I still lack - I wonder if some scrap iron will do? I hope
it will - cause I have some old angled iron and iron piping lying around and
rusting away :)

Andrei,

Please learn the difference between steel or iron and galvanized steel /

galvanized iron in his forge.  Fumes from the galvanizing are very
dangerous.
