Another method would be to cut two wedge shaped pieces
of reasonably heavy (3/8"+?) steel and weld them to
another reasonably heavy piece as a base. Weld at the
desired angle and the wedge shape will give you room to
forge your taper. You'll be able to forge a taper equal
to or LONGER than the wedge but not shorter.
Making a triangle swage is a bit more complicated than
this but not a lot. There is some grinding and fitting
of course and perhaps a little reinforcing necessary.
Don't forget the mounting system of your choice, vise,
hardy hole, saddle, stake holder, etc.

it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
