just get a new one.
pretty common to find at actual thrift shops. you'd be paying about the same price as new at goodwill.
however, new ones tend to be thinner than older (lodge at least, cant say for others)

Yeah welding cast sucks, just get a new one.Too bad it's right down the middle and you can't even make a spatula out of it

Didn't want to make a new thread so I'm hijacking this one lol.
I have a few really good cast iron pans that I got when I was dating/living with a chef.
Problem is, since we broke up years ago they've been in my possession (I paid for them), just getting gross and rusting (?)
What do I do? Steel wool and soap? Power washer? I want to give them away, probably to the local homeless shelter I volunteer at.
Thanks anons

how come no artisty-fartsy pattern designs on Comp Roofs?I might be buying a smallish TLC 1920s Neo-Victorian/Craftsman that will be needing roof soon and has a few gables and valleys on the roof.I'm thinking it would be cool to have "accents" on edges, ridges and a pattern in the fields, probably one big "unit" pattern of like diamond with edge and inner diamond or something, using diff colors of Comp tiles.I can't help but notice that while patterns of floor, shower and counter and back-splash tiles are common or even SOP, I've never seen what I'm proposing. :)Picrel is triangles, so I'd most likely be stuck with rectangles, but I don't see why overlaying with cut shingles wouldn't be possible, but that would be extra money and work.The UFW Union flag is an example of similar art with just 90deg blocks, and IMO looks pretty good, and is example of what my diamond or other stepped design might be.Thots?

Welding cast iron is already difficult doing it in something as thin as a frying pan is asking for trouble. I got some woodworking tool shipped to me for my grandfather, and one of my Bedrock played somehow managed to get a corner clipped off of the square part and I took it to a machinist to specialize in this stuff to fix it and he brazed it together very carefully using a special solder that's meant for difficult materials like this.

why does a certain subset of edamamebois think cast iron skillets are some sort of fragile porcelainlike shit that need more care than an inbred show poodle?
fer fuks sake the average olden days fryin pan enjoyer would scrub the thing out with a handful of dirt and pine needles an go right back to cookin the next round of viddles fir supper and nobody batted an eye
these same wristlets o nu also seem to have taken the notion that blue jewans aint meant to be washed ever. da fuck? yall stank put yer fuckin pants in the washer theyll be fine

Brazing will work but it'll be a case of drilling a small hole at each end of the crack so it won't continue spreading.Bronze wire, get it all hot, lots of flux and fine oxy-lpg tip or oxy-acet if you're feeling particularly spicy but it can melt through if you're not careful.

this is how it looks now, what shape should it take? i dont want to take too much off the flat end because the handle is too heavy (it tilts down onto it)
plz draw on this image if you have an idea
