Monday

have wanted to put it out where it could be seen and tried to think of ways it could be used that didn't involve just filling it with junk. it would make and interesting coffee table with a thick glass top but heavy to move and doesn't really go with my living room. also thought of lining it with something and just using as a planter by the front door but with no drainage it would need some kind of engineering to keep it from rusting badly. never thought of using it for cooking. that is an interesting thought.

Be careful as you age. Cast iron is great but heavy and seems to get heavier with each passing year. justhanginon Wednesday #11
