Cast Iron Wall
Feb 26, 2020 14:44:49 #
A little back story. My wife and I have only been married 19 years, which means we each had a life and home before. We each brought "stuff" to the marriage, and since we each tend to hoard, we had a lot of "stuff". We also each used cast iron cookware, which means we now have a lot of cast iron. Storing a couple of aluminum pans in the cupboard is no big deal, but stacking cast iron pans is. We live in a rural area of New Mexico and I have an almost unlimited supply of old wood, which I mostly use for picture frames. I had an epiphany! I built a small wall to hang them, the result is here:

WOW! Do I see an old Wagner in there? I came across one at an small estate sale a few months ago. Lucky for me, no other bidders gave a hoot about a rusty old 10 inch skillet.The bidding started at $20.00, no takers. I ended up shelling out $7.00 for it. looks like you put a lot of effort into seasoning them. A very worthwhile effort for sure. Do you use any of them for cooking? I Need more epiphany's like yours!

There is at least one Wagner which i actually like better than the Lodge. And yes, we use at least one of them every day for breakfast if nothing else. I couldn't figure out how to put the two dutch ovens up there. Thanks for the comment.

Great job! You should send this in to a couple of magazines like "Good Housekeeping" or maybe even "Arizona Highways".

Very clever solution and pleasing to view. Assume it is very practical, too.
Well done,
