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.
