This is a lump of some really rusty steel that I have found near a railway.
I thought it looked pretty cool
I have no idea what I will forge out of this lump of steel, but it will be quite the interesting little experience trying to forge this.
It's going to be a bit difficult to make something out of it, mainly because the very oddball shape it has. It will be a bit hard to get a grasp on it with tongs and the amount of bumpy curves and no smooth surfaces means I am going to have to figure out a way to forge it with out a cold shut occurring (A cold shut is when a fold is accidentally hammered into the steel/iron and it becomes a crack later on)
