If you could melt all the steel and iron ever smelted in recorded history and made a ball. How big would it be and how much would it weigh? I woluld like to know the actual answer before I die.

Yes but expensive to build. First you need a lined fire pit. Black Hall wood, Bellows, Bellow up a clear flame. Put iron and steel in mold in but above fire. And you have heat to melt steel there. You are looking at $1000 just to build a pit. Fire pot for the steel and iron. Tongs to handle it, Protective cloths, Extra. Not worth the trouble today. Let alone expense. And if you spill it on damp ground,water,or pour in to wet a mold she will explode and kill you. You need to go to school for this! Know. My Grandfather on Moms side was the last hammer and forge man in the county. Seen it done. Not for me to do. And he tryed to teach us the art. Good thing to stay away from. You will get hurt bad doing it or dead.

Hi. OK, I don't know about iron, but all the GOLD every mined and collected would fit into a cube 50 feet on a side.
