[TheForge] Frying pan question.

[Bob Ehrenberger]

I had some one request a hand made frying pan at the last event I went to.
I can get the blanks from the guy in Iowa that always runs an add in our
news letter, but I have no idea how heavy to make the handle.  I was
thinking of maybe making a basket from 4 pieces of 1/4" rd. I could either
jump weld it into a short piece of 1/2" rd to connect to the pan or just
weld a couple inches of the 1/4" stock to let it transition right from the
basket to the pan.

Do any of you guys have any experience at making fry pans?  Any suggestions?
