Re: Or maybe I'll just become a Pot dealer
Heh. When I first got interested in the SCA I asked Gundo to consider building a helmet that looked like an inverted cooking pot, and I'd build a "pitchfork" to fight with, complete with hidden armour for the "filthy peasant" look.
I drifted a bit from that.

Re: Or maybe I'll just become a Pot dealer
I've only tried out the first one I made & gave to a friend at GW. It seeped water a bit when first made, but sealed right up when I coooked a flour & water "gravy" in it for a few minutes. I've been told cooking up some oatmeal works well too. We used the first one at GW several times & never leaked a drop. I'll be trying these two out this evening.MJBlazek wrote:does it hold water?
I'm pretty sure they won't exactly be cheap, the first three took about 4 hours apiece & they are made from the Devils Iron (stainless). A rough guess of $100-$125, but I need to do a little figuring before I know for sure. Scot & Maggie of Viking-U-Like get first pick anyway.

You need to talk to Mal too. Or at least Jorunn. That whole camp has been wanting a decent sized kettle for years.

Looks good!
Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience

Re: Or maybe I'll just become a Pot dealer
Curses!
You read my mind.....
I've been thinking of pounding out a norse "spangenpot" just to do it for a while.
I have a few pics of one some British living history folks were using as a guide, but no pics of anything like an archeological cookware find.
I've pounded out a few crude copper bowls, an iron spoon, and forks at various times, but not a cook pot yet.

Re: Or maybe I'll just become a Pot dealer
I haven't actually measured them out, but I would extimate 2 - 2.5 quarts. I'll probably fiddle with a few sizes, and do a couple in mild steel as well.Maire O Halowrane wrote:How much does it hold.. hard to tell from the pics how big they are.

Nice pot. Good work Knotwolf!
Is that homemade?... No I had to do it, the house is always late for work.

Re: Or maybe I'll just become a Pot dealer
like the pots, both Knotwolf and Halvgrimr.
Halv, how big is yours?
was thinking of having a go at one to hold maybe 2 uk gallons ( ours are bigger than yours ) about 9 litres maybe and was thinking of aiming for 16 to 18" diameter and 10 to 12" deep

Re: Or maybe I'll just become a Pot dealer
Its been a while and I gave mine away to some friends that really came thru for me on something.
I cant remember how much it held exactly, more than a gallon, less than 5:)
If I was to guess maybe 3 gallons
