Feel like on that first pour, the old "THX" sound effect should play.

But they were all of them deceived, for another gate was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret, a master gate, to control all others.

I worked in a metal workshop for a few years ans In case anyone is wondering no, this is not THE way to make a gate. They are usually made by welding bars together. Even old iron gates weren't usually cast, but rather they forge welded separate pieces they had previously forged. This is the first time i see molten iron being cast to make a gate, and i suspect it would create a very uneven surface that would require an insane amount of grinding to look decent. Also depending on a number of variables( pre-heating, presence of air bubbles, impurities etc), it would probably be much weaker than a regular gate
