[TheForge] Putting new handles on old skillets

[Jerry Frost]

On a similar theme you could forge a stylized snake, I'm visualizing a 
cobra, biting the edge of the pan. It'd be real easy to weld a couple small 
studs to the under side of the snake's head to serve as rivets through the 
remaining handle.

If it ain't forged
it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
