Well, maybe the fifth, the first failures are out in the swamp behind my shop. This one is 1084 under 15N20 which welded up better than anything else I tried so far but even so I had a couple of spots that didn't weld and had to grind part of the knife away and make it smaller than I intended. I am really wanting to weld some wrought iron over any steel. I found some of the most beautiful wrought iron on a recent trip to northern Minnesota: I kind of think it was equipment from the iron mines there.
I think that I can work out the bugs in my welding but any suggestions on core steel for a wrought iron weld would be greatly appreciated.
