used to be the only way to get a hole in steel/iron....this is what got me intristed in blacksmithing as a kid... next time your in a old building with wrought iron think about how the smiths did it before they had electricity!

yeah i dont like to stick to a pattern UNLESS i have a guy that hands me a drawing and says thats what i want....i tend to go more free form when im doing a piece ....the energy flows better.. if you buy into that whole chi kinda thing
