Is it a realistic goal to build a greenhouse from steel, curled patterns poured into moulds using molten iron made in a Temu furnace and glass, all using an angle grinder and arc welder?

But over time moisture ingress and rust become a problem. You also need available spare glass pieces when bird strikes or hail or clumsy occupants etc break glass. So highly specialized glass pieces become a problem at that point.You could make it out of standardized pieces but any company that does make that kind of thing would likely charge an arm and a leg, and may not be there when you need a replacement piece in 10+ years.Back in the days this kind of thing was the purview of millionaires and billionaires working with trades that still had a lot of life in them. Ironworkers, millrights, glass workers and other artisans. These things still exist but finding ready access to the right person when you need them for repairs or expansions will likely be a huge pita.
