[TheForge] Shower rod

[Peter Hirst]

Bob Jordan made a shower rod for my house out of 1010 mild about 20 years 
ago that has never rusted and was certainly never scratched by any of the 
several sets of curtain rings I have gone through. It is flat black and   I 
believe it was just oiled forge or torch scale. Auto body parts around here 
(heavy salt environment) are finished in powder coat without rusting for at 
least as long.
