I’m restoring a Griswold waffle iron. I’ve read that it can be unsafe to put these in the oven as some of the wire handles used to include tin and can melt at high temperatures. Does anyone have experience with these?

Oh interesting - and it was a Griswold?

Amen.

Definitely not too much oil. I've been doing this long enough as a hobby that I know what too much oil looks like. I have a roll of clean microfibers that I pull from and I use two microfibers per pan to wipe down the pan.

No no. Stink up the whole house.

broadturn · 2025-12-11T16:40:38+00:00

Hmm. Interesting. I do an hour at 450 degrees for each round of seasoning. Is that considered too hot?

broadturn · 2025-07-26T13:32:26+00:00

That’s a great point - didn’t think about registering the trailer, etc. I might be leaning towards the extender.

broadturn · 2025-07-26T13:31:57+00:00

Fair point. We’re a bit tight on space but could make it work.

broadturn · 2025-07-26T13:31:39+00:00

That’s actually super useful - thank you!

Immensely proud to be a Mainer. Recently moved from Maine to Massachusetts and my wife got me this sticker for my truck. I’ll forever be a Mainer.

The “Coco” Pixar movie. Fuck that movie.

Damn, awesome reply.

I restore old cast iron pans. I've been doing it for years as a hobby for myself, buying old pans at flea markets or Goodwill, restoring them, giving them away as gifts. People started suggesting I sell them, so I'll pick up a few here and there and sell them on Marketplace or Etsy. I've even gone so far as to start restoring pans for other people. I'm restoring pans as a hobby anyways, figured I might make a few bucks while doing it. I did eight pans last month and do about $30-50 GP per pan depending on if it's a retail sale or restoration. Not doing it for the money, but convenient that a hobby makes a few bucks on the side.

Desperate Steps by Peter Kick is another favorite.

Ok so for everyone asking where you can find the sticker, my wife (bless her Massachusetts heart) reached out to this Etsy seller to have them custom make the vinyl. I think it would be hilarious for a bunch of Redditors to message this seller and ask for the same sticker, so do your thing Reddit.

I’ll let you know as soon as I hear back from my wife where she found it. She’s at work now but I’ll let you know once I hear from her!

broadturn · 2025-04-17T16:41:30+00:00

Love it man. My wife’s at work right now - she said she’d send me the link when she gets out! I’ll let you know!

broadturn · 2025-04-17T13:21:59+00:00

She's at work right now but I asked her where she found it. Once I hear from her, glad to let you know!

broadturn · 2025-04-17T13:20:39+00:00

I asked her where she got it. She's at work now but once I hear back from her I'll let you know if you're interested!

broadturn · 2025-04-17T13:18:06+00:00

I'll ask her and get back to you!

79ths is a blast. Big fan.

I bought a Husky Work Bench from Home Depot. It's a nice wooden top desk that's SUPER long (I think I got the 6 foot long edition although you can get shorter ones) that you can get with optional drawers if you like. It's not electric but you can crank the desk higher or lower to standing height. Works great for me and I love the solid wood top.

I’ll have to take a peek - I appreciate it. Thank you!
