Default How to make iron filings?
on Fri, 10 Jan 2020 10:18:58 -0800 (PST) typed
in rec.crafts.metalworking the following:
Run magnets through sand, by your windowsill(or any place that collects a lot of dust, really)and try your best to remove the filings from the magnet. It ain't easy!

That's not how you make them

That is one way to collect iron filing.

To make them, take a block of cheap iron/steel, and a file. Or a
grinder. Or a sander. Or just rub the metal on the concrete.
