I am looking for a couple of cast iron skillets with broken handles

[Ohio Rusty]

I want to make a hanging skillet that hangs over a campfire. I could file away the broken handle part and make a bail you can hang over a fire from an iron tripod. Here is a pic of one made by Terry Sheridan from Canada. I think his skillet is steel not cast iron because of the pour spout. I would think this would be a good selling item. Should anyone come across a broken handle skillet, give me a shout.

That skillet's awesome, the pour spout is a sweet addition! Turning those busted handles into something useful and a little bit country? Genius.

hi @Ohio Rusty Love this idea, it’s the perfect way to breathe life back into a ruined piece of iron.

try to check the bottom shelves at the local antique shops and flea markets for you. most people think they’re junk once the handle snaps
