Beautiful video thank you
They use rotor discs. I hope I didn't miss it, but are they lacking a step of removing impurities like Lodge does? I don't think their manufacturing process adds much value until the sanding. It just adds cost.
It's all about the Details and Quality….. You can see it in the end product….. Going to buy one soon…
2:45 "Hey my brake rotors!!!"
I spent a career working with pattern makers, so cool to watch the vertically integrated production.
I could see if they were using lathes or machining but they're not they're literally using sanding discs on a Dremel. Like who can't do that? The skillets are very unique looking but I'm sorry from someone knowledgeable I would never pay that much for their work. If anything I'd probably just make my own cast iron and sand it myself lol
To many commercials!
😂 I’ll stick with my $22 Lodge skillet
with the mirror finish that I did in my garage 😂
A really interesting video. What isn't interesting and is very aggravating is the drumming and dingy music in the background. I had to give up on it.
I thought Lodge was making enameled cast iron in the States too? Anyway, this is a gorgeous product with so much care and attention to detail.
