RE: Anybody into Sad Irons - 1/14/2009 6:19:50 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 3878 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Being a history nut as well as a bottle nut I for one love bringing home rusty metal junk.  I bring home sad irons and always place the heavy stuff in the bottom of my pack, then put the bottles on top.  I once brought home a 57 pound cannonball and thought my little daypack was going to split in two!  I love finding irons as well as the trivits that kept them from burning stuff.  A couple of these are in rough, almost gone shape but I still might try and restore the one on the right.  Wrought iron sad irons and trivits are generally older and scarcer than the cast iron ones.  Supposedly people had more than one sad iron to keep one heated as the other cooled off.  Early trivits were very hollow as the less metal the sad iron sat upon the less of a heatsink factor it provided.

RE: Anybody into Sad Irons - 1/15/2009 12:17:12 AM    whitefeather   Posts: 127 Joined: 11/3/2008 Status: offline cobaltbot I like the pic of the locks? they have little bottles on them too. What can you share about them?  And yes I do know someone crazzy enough to bring things like items on the stairs, What are they from plows? a-john as a mater of fact brings a lot of lut home, from any job he could that man would bring home any thing old in the houses he could. doors, fences, wooden collumns, windows , and I think some one on the fourm was building a shop or store and he said I should send they a window they need.The funniest was he went jogging and was running back to the house with a big fallen tree he got out of the creek on his shoulders, down the middle of the street.  It looked funny to "outsiders" but I knew what he was doing. It was a good one nice shape and seasoned. Nice to think of fond memories. Thank you for the pics.
