(A friend of mine once described getting a cast iron bath
downstairs with great difficulty, only to find that the scrap
merchant who was collecting it immediately broke it up with a
sledge hammer before putting the now much easier to handle chunks
in his truck....)

I removed a cast iron bath from my father in laws years ago. I
heard all about this 'bash it with a hammer' trick, so I tried it.
My ears were still ringing a week later and the bath was unscathed!

Chip away a bit of the porcelain with a cold chisel then drill a
hole in the cast iron. Then wack with hammer. The hole acts to
concentrate the stress of the blow (a 'stress riser') and it will
break far more easily.

Nowwww heeee tellsssss meeeee :-)


Is that a "ding" ?

What? Pardon?

"Dong" then

Lets all call TMH names while he can't hear us ...
