Re: OT: Hints for saving cast iron skillet are needed

oh...for pitys sake... Electrolysis. 5gal bucket of water, 1 cup epsom salts (electrolyte for electron transfer), some kind of metal plate that will fit in the bucket, 12v DC battery charger.

Loved your pictures also. How is your asparagus forest growing?
Thank you!

Two winters ago, I kilt my asparagus forest. Too much
straw on top for the winter. It smothered it.
I replanted in April and none of the crowns came up.
Getting ready to reload next week.

I used the LL-TA plugged in to get the bass sound, and I tapped on the guitar body to get the drum-ish sounds. I used a sound-hole cover to get the brighter sound with ...
