A story on the cast iron. I found two chunks of it imbedded in the concrete floor of an old plywood plant, The veneer dryer sat on these. They were about 8x8x2 with a hole in the middle slotted out to the one side. Originally thought they were steel, till I tried welding to one. The weld didn't hold. Assumed it would be hard as glass and full of porosity. Turns out its the nicest to machine cast I've ran across with a nice fine grain. Guess you never know what your going to find.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
