As the name implies, cast iron is cast. Unless it has been completely Finnish machined, it will have cast marks (seems) from the casts, and the surface won't be so smooth like steel, which is pressed and rolled from giant ingots.
FYI, Glenn has a young kid friend named Will in a shop next to him in HB. He builds all kinds of stuff for 4x4. He's seriously talented as a fabricator and I think he's done something either identical to what you want to do or similar. Maybe you could visit him and get some ideas if you were so inclined.
