since the iv'e found a modern lodge mini skillet that matches the #1 size catagory.........................$4:00 bucks...............

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.

Let me know what you find out,

You got that right!

Wagner and Griswold both made small skillets, Griswold made as small as a #0

Glad it was helpful! Good to see you William,

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

Not sure yet

Makes sense

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.

Thanks for watching, Good to hear from you Papaw Dan

Thanks Brother, good to see you made it!!

Absolutely

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,

My thoughts exactly,

Thanks Cynthia!!!

Thanks Val, And thanks for checking out the channel

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!!!!👏 👏

Thanks!

Thanks for checking out the video, I was surprised how many folks actually got mad about this video,

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.
