Wow JJ, this could not have come at a better time. Wifey Poo is going on about needing some $150 ceramic ultra slick frying pan. Boy o boy is she in for a treat when I replicate this replica for her cooking pleasure. I think I'll thank you in advance for how ecstatic she'll be when she receives this hand made piece of cookware delight! So thanks, and that's some thinking outside the box.
As a joke I wanted to buy an old frying pan and mount it on a wooden plaque, like the United Cutlery swords, and also a pot ( for the Coney stew and po-ta-toes ) on a plaque ( with the sign boil-em, mash-em, stick ‘em in a stew) above it. Is your frying pan basically the same dimensions as that in the movie? Or are you guesstimating?
