[TheForge] Sucker rod

[Bob Willman]

	The sucker rod that I have is wrought iron - 1" sq about 21' long
threaded on each end. I assume that later rod was more modern steel. Some of
them were wood with metal end pieces.

I picked up some sucker rod last week and was told that it was good for
making hand tools. Do any of you know what steel it is? or the composition
of alloys in it?
