Iron Pour


As I get older, there are fewer and fewer things on the "never seen that before" list... This weekend I got the chance to take Cameron to an Iron Pour. "What is an Iron Pour?" you ask...just what is sounds like. The master metalworker has built a lawn version of an iron oven, pours a ton of scrap metal into the top and the melted metal is then tapped and poured into molds. We got to carve out our own molds too!

Pouring into the molds.

The iron oven sparks as the metal is heated.

Hot stuff!
