I would definitely agree with this. I'm no expert welder but even trying to braze cast iron is difficult. Cast iron expands when you heat it and then shrinks when it cools and it's brittle. Local heating, even the lower temperature needed for brazing, causes local expansion and then possible cracking when it cools. And the cast iron often warps, even if it holds together.

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
