      I can not wait for your skillet to hit your store! I am on every Sunday morning within the first hour and never have been able to get a cold handle skillet sadly. I actually think your design might be way better though.

      Am surprised a ball-peen hammer isn't being used. The ball doesn't have to be big either to aggressively shape softened metal. For example, I can use a ball-peen hammer the size of a tack hammer to rivet mild steel plates together using solid (albeit soft steel) rivets. To rivet, use the ball end of the hammer on the edge of the rivet, and work your way around the edge to make a nice mushroom dome. Don't start in the middle.
      So you'll have work handles on the piece during shaping, try leaving tabs that extend beyond the final circumference. Cut them off after the final shape is reached. If you want to smoothen a surface afterwards then a planishing hammer will work. Good Effort - Never Give Up!

      I love this idea!
      I'm curious if there's a way to use a press with your concrete mold on the bottom, the heated sheet metal in the middle, and a smaller rounded piece on the end of the press to push the sheet metal into the mold in order to save time vs hand hammering the sheet metal? Perhaps it's the hand built part of the idea that you really enjoy though, vs. mass production.
      I imagine that using a press like i described would also keep the thickness of the metal more uniform throughout the pan - I know from auotbody repair back in the day that every strike with a hammer over sheet metal will thin it out... Perhaps it's not a huge concern?
      Figured I'd mention it anyway.
      Pressed or hand hammered, I don't care - this idea is awesome AF, and I'll be looking for the finished product over the next few weeks!!!!
      I've consistently tried for the cold handle skillets to no avail. Maybe I'll be more lucky in the future with your skillet instead.

    Hi Two Track, it’s One Track from Australia here. Sovereign Hill is an outdoor historic gold mining town (about 50 acres). One of the early businesses they rebuilt was a TinSmiths Foundry. I have been there countless times. They spin their skillets and gold pans, plates, bowls etc. It’s very fast, accurate and simple.

      With modern electric motors, a spinning lathe wouldn’t be overly significant. The tool rests are similar wood lather rests with 2 vertical pins. The rest is not that hard for a smart man to figure out.

      Shawn, at Sovereign Hill, see if you can find the ‘Soho Foundry’. It can give you a bit of an idea. I know you are dedicated to US Made. But I’m sure there would be places over there that do this kind of metal spinning.

    I would seriously consider a hydrologic press for this item. You could also make steel plates for the kit as well. Stamp the plates, and then some of those plates could be further stamped into skillets. It would require some additional setup in the beginning, but make the process easier and faster in the end. Ultimately saving time and energy. That said, great work as is.

    I'm sorry to say that due to an undiagnosed illness (we're waiting for test results and x-rays to be looked at) I missed this on Thursday. So, again, I missed out on the merch drop. Next time...
    This is a pretty cool item. I purchased a "Viking" skillet from your Etsy store a couple weeks ago, and I have yet to clean it up. It has a hinged handle with the base riveted on the skillet so the hollow handle folds into the pan to make it more compact. Your skillet and this one I bought would easily fit in a poke bag for transport. Mine's slightly larger but yours is no less utilitarian. If it works....it works.
    Keep up the good work, Shawn. Thank you for what you do. If you're interested, there's a gentleman in Canada that has a channel called The Woodland Escape, and he's building a small fort in the woods. His name's Peter Kelly, and he's calling it (ever so modestly) Kelly's Station. It's a throwback channel on life 250 years ago in northern North America. It's really pretty cool and informative. If you have an interest, give it a look.
