My grandmothers cast iron skillet from 1965 has never seen soap once. That pan has seared more steaks than most restaurants. Plain hot water and a stiff brush is all it needs.

Bro judges be wild, last contest I entered got snubbed for having too much dialogue.

Rubber pans still freeze solid, styrofoam floats don't cut it in serious cold.

Had the same battle with my FS 55 last spring. That bump head is a nightmare to get apart. Ended up buying a SpeedFeed head for it, best money I ever spent on that trimmer.

Is it wrong that I read this while my hands were literally covered in lens grease from reviving a 1960s Takumar? @henderson.mila you're speaking my language. I've got a box of old glass that looks like it's been through a war but still takes better photos than most new stuff. I've dropped a few of my cheap adapters on pavement and watched them crumble, but the vintage lenses just bounce. Maybe I'm just a sucker for brass and heft, but I'll take a scratched up classic over a shiny plastic box any day. Anyone else ever rebuild an old lens just for the fun of it?
