Wow that might be the youngest iron in the solar system

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Duh dunt tisk! Lol it's from a bridge that was constructed 100+years ago in 1906 🙂

[@steamhelsing9440]

i thought the same lol

[@lizziejohnson5084]

It does say wrought iron, implying it was modified in some way 100 years ago. But I have no idea of that is rare or not.

[@ZOCCOK]

The joke flew over everyone's head 🗿

[@karlish8799]

Nice. Iron rings grant you +4 melee damage.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Don't forget +2 attack damage

[@thefknguy12766]

Also its rare but sometimes it will also have a damage negation of -2.5, its a pretty good ring for early game or fist only runs but even then it holds its weight pretty good in mid to late game

Thats got to be one of the thicccest rings I've ever seen.

Wow, that's cool! My wife has some wagon wheel rims from her familys' ranch. Her great grandpa homesteaded in Wyoming in 1911....ideas.! Cool!!

[@DeeDee-bm9hr]

You going to destroy a family heirloom to make a shitty ring?

[@eccentricjoe8786]

@@DeeDee-bm9hr Damn that’s a pretty negative way to look at it lol, it’s not like it has much of a use utility wise as a wheel, to be fair it loses some of it’s inherent meaning and history but still it’s better than getting rid of it if you don’t have the space or it just sitting in your garage or storage or something. As a ring it might be more included in a person’s or family’s life and gain more sentimental value/provoke more day-to-day thought than just sitting around. An exception would maybe be if it was a literal heirloom that’s hung up in a home maybe.

[@NintenDub]

​@@eccentricjoe8786 you have a brain...unlike most. Yea the ring would be a way more useful thing to pass on that a wheel. Knowing it's from the old family farm, and great gram and gram and mom wore this thing and it's 200+ years old is way cooler than a wheel

Зачем нужно было перекручивать прут в начале?

Looked pretty darn good, the next one you do. Leave the outside as is, rough

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Might be a option

[@JUNIsLuke]

Another one would be really cool if you left the spin on the outside aswell instead of going for the “dotted” look

[@hoperoesler]

What I came to say.

[@eccentricjoe8786]

Damn I’d take that over most gemstones/precious metals, it has more value to me being made of something with historical use as a material for tools and infrastructure than something artificially given meaning like diamonds.

Next time paint the inside of the ring and then etch it for 10 hours. The paint will keep the inside smooth and the acid will expose all the grain from the wrought iron. I bet it would look awesome.

[@timreid9556]

Have you considered a hole saw bit, like from a Magnetic drill? you might be able to forge a band from the plug

May I ask why twisting the rod at the beginning? Is it for more durability?

I love it! But what was that thing you used to mark a hole for the drill press?

[@Menuki]

Exer consider annular cutter to hog out big holes?

[@seansteele1269]

Are you going to seal it somehow? So it doesn’t rust, I’ve had that problem with my Damascus rings.

[@Tom-hz9oc]

Have you tried bluing them?

[@koen_bakker]

Linseed oil is a really good rust stopper. If you smear it onto the metal with a paper towel and let it dry for a few days, the oil will make a sort of clear coat on the metal that stops the rust.

[@amardave84]

The one ring to rule them all!

[@pornhub1]

Now think about it, that iron is basically clean from most radioactive materials

[@joepringle3695]

Do you understand how radiation works?

[@keegenm.6154]

​@@joepringle3695 do you understand how prenuclear metal comes from a time when ambient radiation levels were lower so they were exposed to less radiation during processing?

Very well done😌✌🏻🔥

[@alexc8114]

Iron forged before 1945 is actually really valuable for scientific instruments as it doesn't have radiation from the air mixed in like modern iron does.

[@GamingwithShadowlink]

I hope this isn't rude of me to ask but what was the point of the twist? Cuz if you're doing something with My patterned Damascus the twist would have added a nice cool effect to the ring but with just but without any other metals or an asset edge that wouldn't come out.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

The twist isn't aesthetic.. it's because wrought iron has a wood grain structure and will split open when upsetting on the end grain like in this video. The twist is to align the grain structure so that it doesn't split when upset

Looks nice, but you wear that for a day and youll have a literal hand full of rust. Had the same problem with some of my own creations.

Maybe it can be coated with another metal? I saw someone heat metal and brush with brass and the brass was left behind.
