wow honey, it has not been more than two weeks since this vid and i found a wagner #1 at the local humane society thrift store......... i'm stoked.......... @ 4 &1/2 "' it has no size #, it's marked with a curved wagner logo with all caps and in quotation marks, old style heat ring and reenforced handle, very vintage......... speak of the devil, what syncronicity and attraction........ WOOHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, $18.00 bucks.......................
since the iv'e found a modern lodge mini skillet that matches the #1 size catagory.........................$4:00 bucks...............
live & learn, wow, who woulda' thunk it...................
Hi Honey Badger, I like your channel. I'll sub to that. I make spatulas from new Lodge seconds from the plant. These skillets go through a lot from cutting, grinding, and buffing, but they always take seasoning. Why? I've heard and seen heat damaged pieces but how can I repair a spinner without heat damage? They have to be red hot to bend without breaking but none have heat damage or seasoning problems. How can the iron be melted to form the piece without heat damage? I wish I had the answers. They say never use stainless steel anodes in your e-tank but myself and others do with no problems. My charger delivers up to 38 amps with my barrel/tank lined with stainless sheet metal. A lot of times it will run for a week at a time. I've used it like this for two years because stainless anodes are easy to clean. Dirty anodes leads to a slow cleaning tank. My tank holds 35 gallons and the water also gets old. This will also lead to slower productivity. I restore for two estate sale companies to enable my edition so I have to produce on a schedule. Would running a piece that won't take seasoning in electrolysis clean out the iron enough for it to season? If it was wire brushed the metal from the brush could be in the iron.
Thanks for your comment, I've read that stainless steel anodes produce hexavalent chromium that's very toxic in the disposed water , but I have heard it depends on the grade of the stainless steel, I'm not sure about it I use rebar and super washing soda in my tank and use the top 90% of the discard to water my grass. The greasy bottom 10% I put on the poison ivy on my fence line, But to address repairing a spinner using high heat to bend it back Ive never seen it work because of cast iron being so brittle.I think it's great you're making spatulas in my opinion responsibly. I have a couple badly warped and cracked pieces that would be great spatulas. Thanks for tuning in and please leave more comments
@@honeyj.badger5484 Repairing the spinners has been a learning process. The cool down process was where I was cracking skillets. Try to picture this, for a clamp to flatten the bottom I used two pieces of aluminum channel 4"wide x19" long with 1 1'2" holes drilled every few inches for access and two 1/2" bolts in each end. If the piece has a heat ring I'll use a 2" washer to compensate for the heat ring. Get the piece between the two channels with the flat sides touching the piece and firm it up but only firm. Here is the magic, set it upside down over a turkey cooker to get hot. When it's hot turn it over while still on the turkey cooker and heat the bulged area from the cooking surface with a torch while keeping the clamp firm. The iron will get red but it has to. With the bulge flattened the tricky part is the cool down. Leave it in the clamp and turn it back upside down with the turkey cooker still on for a good 5 minutes or more. Turn off the cooker and cover the piece in a fire blanket $25 at Harbor Freight. This allows it to cool even slower. I'd say there are better ways but this was what I came up with. I've worked with metals since 1980, I couldn't comprehend how something that could happen in a kitchen that I couldn't repair in a shop. I was an oldster on a mission! Another idea I'm toying with is hanging a piece in a simple pillowcase to act as a coffee filter containing the skillet crud. The electricity flows through the pillowcase like it wasn't there. Every few pieces I'd dump the pillowcase. Now my wife made some tank liners from bed sheets that I currently use. I zip tied a pool noodle to the top to keep it afloat. There will still be deposits from the anodes in the tank. As for the toxic Arm & Hammer waste water with stainless anodes I don't notice a taste difference but I'm no expert. 😁 I've been told it gave off a flammable gas and possibly if I could build an airtight top over the 35 gallon tank with a pin hole in the cover I might produce a small blue flame. Thanks for sharing your hobby. I enjoy this old history.
@@turdferguson5300 that's a great system for fixing spinners, If you can ever record it send it to me
@@honeyj.badger5484 I've got to learn to do that. My wife is retiring in September and I'll have adult supervision. She's the smart one. It sounds more complicated than it is. I went into detail trying to simplify things. Really you could sum it up like this, you need some form of clamp to add pressure to the warped area and a straight edge to gauge by. Put it upside down over a high heat source and allow to get hot. I' use what is called a rosebud torch tip to heat the warp and surrounding area but I'm going to step it down to a home owner type propane torch if it will get hot enough? I would like to see this become easy and cheap for everyone. With the warp repaired turn the piece back upside down over the heat source so it can become the same temperature. When you think that has happened turn the heat off and cover with the blanket and cool slowly. When I was learning this process I noticed if a skillet is basically worthless it almost never cracked but the more valuable ones, watch out. People say "that sounds like a lot of work" but it was a challenge that people say can't be done. It's too simple not to be able to do it. My favorite was some guy with a hammer going to drive the warp away. He covered it with a towel so it wouldn't scratch it. He was right, one whack with the hammer and his warping problem was gone. Real men of genius! lol What makes this even funnier he downloaded it on YT.
Another pan that I was blessed to find is the BSR 7L large corn stick pan. This pan was produced from 1934 to 1942 at the start of WWII. When production resumed following the war this pan wasn't produced. The 7S is everywhere but this was the first 7L I've seen and it was $8 at an estate sale. It was obvious what it was from the pictures but no one came to get it. If you haven't made brownies in a corn stick pan you haven't lived. You're welcome !
Ive got a tiny one..big enough to cook 1 egg..ill have to look at it
Let me know what you find out,
That’s awesome !!!
Nice find, Bro!!! Those are hard to find down here, but a 1 is just hard to find anywhere.
You got that right!
wev'e all seen a number of ashtray and cookie skillets, so how many foundries, back in the day, made these small size skillets..??...................
Wagner and Griswold both made small skillets, Griswold made as small as a #0
i had no idea that practical skillets got any smaller than #3, this has been very informative on more than one level, thank you, good show honey..................................
Glad it was helpful! Good to see you William,
Thanks Rick!!
Realllly nice 🍯
@@cynthiawesley2318 I started this channel for all of us collectors in the comment section, and so my kids could have a reference of what was in my collection. Thanks so much for your support, 🙏
@honeyj.badger5484 For sure 🍯. I luv it. & I doooo luv to support. SUBBBBB
Nice Iron !!
It's so cute and little... what's it going to be when it grows up? 😊❤
Not sure yet
To make egg McMuffin's and to complete my Piqua Favorite Ware set. Thanks for watching
Makes sense
I have one that size,never used it?
2 weeks ago I found a 14-inch cracker barrel cast iron with the logo on the back$10 like new at the flea market
What would you need one that small
The lead test were not accurate 3m stopped making them most lead test don’t work right
A great many "collectors" have that buzz-saw attitude. Must be some tendency to that personality trait. I like the other, thankfully more prevalent trait of sharing an interest and trading acquired knowledge. I just play dumb with the grumps, listen if interested, then move on.
That's a great attitude to have, collecting is about fun, interest, and enjoying knowledge obtained from other's, I enjoy talking to other collectors.
Love these videos because of the history behind these foundries
You run into people like that in every walk of life, not just cast iron. You tried to help him and he won’t listen. All you can do is shrug it off & try to help somebody else, down the road. But you tried, good for you!!! Dan & Cindy
This is a distinction breakfast skillet; it has a nice design. Dan had experience with the Wagner version but never found the Griswold version to try. If it cooks like it looks, that’s a jewel….Dan & Cindy
Thanks for watching, Good to hear from you Papaw Dan
Dan said that this is the first griddle with its size number (8) on the bottom side of handle, that he can remember. That caught his eye & that isn’t easy to do LOL. Nice griddle…Dan & Cindy
Good to see you! I have watched your videos before, but didn’t realize it was you from Chaos!
Hey Honey Badger, this is Jimmy. Always watch Cast Iron Chaos and Luis J Cast Iron Cooking. I just found you on You-tube. It's always good to see good folks with a lot of good information. good stuff. Thanks for the information. Good show man.
Thanks Brother, good to see you made it!!
LOVE ANYTHING LODGE
Sweet!!
Pretty one!!
Wow! That dutch oven is killer!! I have a lid like that but haven't been able to locate a bottom. And I havent been ablevto find a 9 A and A.
Ahh well. You tried. All you can do is try to do whats right and if they don't want to learn something it's on them. Some people are simply unteachable. I appreciate your attitude about the collecting. Its all about having fun and learning about the hobby. Meeting other collectors can be fun too. Depending on their attitude. Peace n love man.
Absolutely
Good show
Gorgeous
That's a cool one!
Very nice
The Buffalo is actually the 2015 Heritage Series, I misplaced my deer skillet with my buffalo Nickel skillet, My bad
Makes you wonder…how many meals that piece has made…how many people it has fed…and STILL in magnificent shape!!🎉
I wish I could show the shape it was in when I got, I found it on a barn floor with an old bucket sitting on it,
Wow
My Lord da hands that iron must have felt. Niccccce
My thoughts exactly,
Thank you for the pronunciations! Appreciated! ❤
Beauuuuutiful
Thanks Cynthia!!!
Too cute! Love it! ❤️
Thanks Val, And thanks for checking out the channel
WOW!!! That is the elusive number 666🎉🎉, what a BEAUTIFUL piece, I hope you put it in rotation and USE that beauty like it was intended Honey J!!
Absolutely this one will get used, Maybe one of these evenings I wil do a Live so I can show you guys some of what I have lurking around the den, Thanks for watching Rick
That would be VERY awesome!!!!👏 👏
Very Nice!!
Thanks!
Good video- the people of UA-cam should be educated about safe restoration methods 👏👏
Thanks for checking out the video, I was surprised how many folks actually got mad about this video,
Enjoyed watching
Hello, I found a Victor which was a #8 and in smooth bottom and sits true but when I use it and heat it up slowly it will spin, junk? Thanks
No not at all, Some cast iron does that, If you have a glass top stove that could be a problem but you can always use it to bake with or as a baking sheet, the #722?
@@honeyj.badger5484 yes, #722
@@honeyj.badger5484 we had a smooth cook top but just recently switch to gas, this pan should work well going forward then?!
@@gerryhenning7337 Absolutely, I have the #7 721 and it does the same thing, It's one of my favorite pans,
@@honeyj.badger5484 I watch Mudbroker, I’ve heard him call out your handle, I also picked up a gate mark pan with narrow pour spouts. A #8, it cleaned up super nice and I’ve been using it a little here and there, it has some sulphur pitting on the bottom but the frying surface you can still make out some swirls on it from when they machined it.
