There are some great videos out there for forging and building things raw from different sources, using sand molds with backyard kilns, sometimes recycled materials or with naturally-sourced.

Grew up with cast iron. Thought my mother should have scrubbed them clean. Her mother didn't and so on up the the line. The arrogance of youth who don't honor their parents.
You need the smooth stuff. Lodge used to make it smooth, now it's all pebbly.
Now THAT was funny! I am a big fan of Cast Iron! Have restored a piece or two. I wish I had been clued in on cast iron in my younger years, but nope, everyone told my wife that Calphalon was a must have kitchen item. I really didn't give a shit, and it ended up on our wedding registry. Years later the Calphalon started getting worn out, and I started buying Lodge Cast Iron. I have the stove griddle, Love that thing! Many a Sunday morning brunches came off it, Still have it. I've been jonesing for one of the older Lodge grills, haven't found one. Would be a good resto project.
No big deal. Put some butter or lard on it, turn off the smoke detector, put some heat on it ... fixed. My wife's family had a house burn down. They lost everything but the cast iron. They pulled it out of the ashes and they are still using it.
that flaked piece of tin you call a cast iron is no longer a cast iron. You've stripped it of its glory and i fear for your cat. There something wrong with you.

I have a cabinet full of vintage cast iron.
Most are 80-120 years old.

Cold iron is bad for eldritch creatures.
