Discada!!! Making cookware from an old, rusty disc blade.

The Discada (called a "Cowboy Wok" by some) is a popular cooking vessel in northern Mexico and the southwest United States.
I take a rusty 19" John Deere disc blade, grind to bare metal, weld a plug in the mounting hole, fabricate and weld on handles and even add a bottom ring so it can be used on an indoor cooktop stove.
In the process, I stumble across a nifty way to spin the blade during the grinding process in order to keep thing even and professional looking... even making a custom spinning grinding mount that can be clamped onto the workbench.
I show one of many methods for breaking drill bits as well as a tried and true method for bending and/or breaking wrenches, and, how to make a dirty, dusty mess in a tiny workshop.
I will take the build all the way through to seasoning the final cookware and having a sample of the first food cooked on the new Discada.
Teachable moment....
This is made from a Disc Blade.
A disc is one of 4 main types of Harrows, to call it a "Disc Harrow" is seen as redundant.
A disc is not a "plow (plough)". A plow digs deep and turns the soil... a harrow breaks up the large clods left behind in the process of plowing.
Music by….me!

Here's an antispatter trick for steel, canola spray. It is a very effective antispatter and it stops flash rust on bare steel when the humidity is high. Use it sparingly and it will not affect the weld and it is the cheapest most effective antispatter with the added benefit of smelling like someone is cooking every time you weld. Love your work.

I think it’s the disks for a tractor, but you can also make it round riddle pan

I kept seeing that shot in the movie Wild Wild West with Will Smith where the spinning disc is trying to cut off there heads 😱 how fast can you duck🫣
