I'm fixin' and not fixin' today ...

These iron skillets were caught in a flood in Vicki's basement some 20 years ago and they've been waiting for some TLC ever since. I had them sitting by my blasting cabinet waiting for me to have walnut shell in the cabinet again. Today was the day.



This is just a Lodge skillet, nothing special, and it was the worst rusted. I blew the crusty rust off and discovered some serious pits. These can be bought brand new. Not gonna be fixin' it. I'll paint it flat black and hang it on the garden wall.


This 12" chicken fryer was Vicki's grandmothers. It's a Wagner with a plated (nickel?) exterior, and worth spending some time on. It didn't have terrible rust, cleaned up pretty well, and all it needs now is to be re-seasoned.

Now - back to the Speedster, and the refinishing, and the quilting machine, and ....

Seasoning explained. Skip to 4:00 to skip the science.
