Making a Carbon Steel Pan with Stagecoach Farm and Forge

[@joecool509]

I own one of Ryans pans, used it last night to saute green beans, and it is an absolute piece of of art!

[@pabloaguilar2392]

Love your notes about lifestyle and counting your own blessings as much as you do others. Keep up the good work

[@justincargo7350]

Yes! More blacksmithing and metal working!

[@samt5663]

With the spec house complete this is a lovely change of content. Thank you Scott and Nat. I enjoy your videos!!!!

[@Dnps807]

These kinds of videos are what first hooked me on this channel

[@coldfinger459sub0]

Thank you for bringing back middle school memories 40+ years ago in metal shop where we learn to handmade tools and cookware from our instructor in class. It’s sad the trades classes have been eliminated from the public school system because when I was in school trades classes started in sixth grade. Working with lays melting in casting metal , forging tools ⚒️

[@jackgreen412]

I'm a retired Industrial Arts teacher. They call it Tech Ed now, but I preferred "Industrial Arts". Excellent video!!!!!!! I really enjoy your channel and always look forward to your presentations.

[@jimmill3384]

I also use after my initial seasoning which I use avocado oil and then I use ghee when I'm cooking because it smokes at 485 also allows more flavor

[@johnross278]

"Cherish and grow the things that we have," YES! You are a blessing!!!

[@nathanweese3812]

So glad to see Scott back to smithing, or anything besides that house. I would listen to him read a dishwasher install manual, what a great voice!

[@ivpu2465]

Thank you for the kind words at the end

[@mmmark61]

I got into watching KZbin for the woodworking, but you keep tempting me with the blacksmithing!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

I also Own one of Ryan's great cook were pices. Awesome craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friends. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends forge on. Keep making God bless.

[@colvinwellborn]

So glad to see you back on the blacksmithing content!

[@TheUncleRuckus]

That suction sound on the press is ASMR heaven. 😂👍👍

[@gnomeater]

Recent change, but you actually CAN use modern dish soap to clean cast iron. It's the lye that stripped seasoning, and modern soap doesn't contain lye.

[@fprintf]

Thank you for sharing this. As soon as they started talking about not using soap I was ready to yell at the screen. As you say, modern soap is perfectly fine on both cast iron, carbon steel and stainless steel pans as it will not strip the seasoning.

[@rpnp2]

Yeah i was going to mention the same thing, but its also true that majority of people go overboard with the soap. A little bit goes alot longer way then majority would believe.

[@cm01]

Drenching a cast iron pan in a chemical degreaser, which is what modern dish soap is, is still not great for the seasoning. Then again neither is cooking in it. It takes a lot of diligence to reseason the pan as often as you really should be.

[@tac4bravo]

Yeah soap won’t take off seasoning

[@hoilst]

@@fprintf Yup - technically, modern "dish soap" ain't soap (it's detergent)! The "no soap" comes from cast iron's heyday, when your dishwashing soap was probably the cheapest, nastiest mix of lye and fat, that probably wasn't mixed or cooked perfectly, and the lye wasn't aged out. So, yeah - it'll rip through seasoning (and your poor scullery maid's skin - this is where the phrase "dishpan hands" comes from.)

[@aussiecro.]

Scott, I appreciate your well defined words as always, I am one of the one's that can only look on this from afar and be amazed each time with the things we all mostly take for granted and how they are in fact created not simply stamped out. I only wish I could be in a position to even attempt to do things like this as the appeal is overwhelming...and then, reality sets in. Have to get back to work. All I want to say is thanks for the video experience, the thoughts and words. They do make a difference.

[@pedalman4595]

I need to tell you this. I ran across your channel I have watched all of your Spec house build. I really want to thank you most of all for the Beautiful message to us at the end of this video. I admire you greatly, you give me Motivation and wisdom to grow from. Thank You and God Bless you and all in your life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevesyncox9893]

You have a way of inspiring a fella. Thanks gents.

Stage Coach is an awesome business and they make a tremendously beautiful product. I am so glad that you did this episode. I hope to buy from them one day.

[@brentjenkinsdesigns]

I really enjoyed this video. I mean. I enjoy most of them. However, the truly selfless sharing of knowledge is my attraction to all content. Thanks.

[@johncatt1867]

Thank you Nate & Scot for sharing another Legacy Craftsman with us all.

[@vivekmanohar4763]

Wow 🤩 last few words are full of wisdom

[@AugustKupfer]

Beautiful pan, beautiful documentary. And what a nice guy!

[@jefff6167]

Thanks for sharing your humanity Scot❤️.

[@jimglatthaar4053]

Excellent video on a true artisan. I admire his dedication to his craft.

[@Tyrel_156]

Thank you for passing on the knowledge. Not just the blacksmithing knowledge, but the life experience and wisdom. You are an absolute role model of mine and I greatly value your advice.

[@j.r.tidwell3318]

I really enjoyed watching you and Ryan make them pans. I got to have one for myself. thanks for such a educational video. My father did a little black smith work when I was a kid.

[@74stevedc]

Nice, beautiful pans. Hopefully the art of blacksmithing is carried down for many generations and never lost. I would love to live in a cabin off the land off grid like they did in the 1800's. To make a living building those pans is incredible. The time and craftsmanship that goes into making one I had no idea of. Makes you think next time I look at my Walmart pan made in China that was mass produced.

[@jamesjoon]

Great video. I became a jeweler by way of blacksmithing. Old and new technology, I combine them everyday. I enjoy what you're doing!

[@jonathanraynes2365]

Beautiful stuff! That looks like he is a very down to earth guy and great teacher. You must have had a blast making those!

[@JohnDoesItAll]

Loved this video! Hand made practical cooking utensils. Fantastic words of wisdom to close this session, God bless!

[@donwilliams3626]

Nice display of knowledge and skill. You take building houses and skillets to a level that is a step above. Thanks for sharing these life lessons.

[@Hunter-ym2kk]

wow, more great content.. well said at the end.. for me, right out the back door and 40 feet over to the shop..

[@jdwilsun]

Wow fabulous pans! I wish I can have one. I read linseed oil is the best to season pans as it polimerizes well. An old lady with a no stick cast iron fry pan, showed me how, after use, she scrubs her cast iron pan with sos pad, rinces, drys on hot burner, then coats in oil all over then heats more on the stove top.

[@eggstraordinair]

I bought myself a carbon steel pan and it's the best thing I've ever bought, and it was also a steal

[@billqqq]

Always wise words to live by. I needed that this morning, thank you.

[@daddygoat]

You touched on it for just a second. Don't get wrapped up thinking you're life is not as good as that KZbinrs. We all bring something to the table.

[@forrestmarsh8787]

Absolutely wonderfully done fellas. I thoroughly enjoyed this vid. Thank you for sharing with us another noble craftsman and taking us along for a lesson so we can all add a notch to the feather and make all our work just a little more refined.

[@rustyshackleford5060]

Keep up the good work

[@TheIrishdriven]

i was taught to season with lard as it never goes rancid and to coat inside out bring to 500 deg then allow to cool in overn before removing i have restored many rusty cast iron this way

[@stevewasdf]

this is nice and gave me the passion to reignite my forge

[@kevinharding2099]

Wow! Fun to watch even though I’ll never be a blacksmith. You are an eloquent spokesman. Video quality is excellent. Love your channel.

[@carlosfernandez1]

A really great video. I value works like this ones. Very informative. My father was an artist on jewelry a watch repairer man a craftsman...a Mason. Love your work Rayan.

[@mattpeterson7074]

This channel plugged me into Ryan's work back in your first visit up there, and I picked up one of his pans this past year for a birthday present for my wife. It's some high quality cookware, and it heats up so dang fast! Great stuff. Also, good to know about the acidic foods. Feel like ours started sticking after a few uses, but we just seasoned it again using avocado oil and it's like new again. Wonder if my wife cooked something acidic with it now.

[@Rufio1975]

Glad I found your channel. Always great content and ponderings about life.

[@olilob575]

Mahalo for the great content! Been watching your videos for a few years, they all are very inspirational!

[@chriskhuchar6032]

The transition from seeing the (live) chickens to grilling the chicken was hilarious.

[@travistaran2398]

Farm tip for drilling stainless: pvc cleaner. Stop every now and then to dip the bit in Oatey or a similar product. You still have to go slow but you’ll save a bundle in burned up bits.

[@B-leafer]

Very nice anvil btw. Cool video. "Please sir, may I have another..."

[@tscott4791]

great content fellas, more of these por favor

[@StormbringerMM]

Another favorite component are the slices of wisdom near the end of every episode

[@FreekHoekstra]

At 2:30 I would drill a hole at the bottom of the die, this way the air can get out and you don’t get the fold on the side that you need to hammer out. Otherwise, utterly amazing!

[@jxvz4895]

The fold has nothing to do with the air.

[@GregsWorkshopOregon]

Cut to shape, pound to fit, paint to match!

[@forgotmylogininfo]

great stuff, thanks for introducing me to a new channel

[@SamuelMcCunemusic]

This was really awesome to watch, thanks for the continued inspiration to keep up the forge. been loving it since i started 4 years ago and i can't imagine life without it now. God bless you guys and thanks so much for sharing!

[@tonymackey370]

nice looking work . something to be proud of

[@aaa8509]

I used to have an old range oven and one if the ways we kept the temp from varying to much was to add therma mass like our steel pans. If you just have the place you or them away as your oven and you put a dab of oil in then each time they get used, they stay drained and make baking easier.

[@robertvonbehr6843]

Awesome.Loved it.

[@badlandskid]

I would never have expected you were a trekkie 😁

[@snower13]

Came for the smithing and left with words of wisdom.

[@stantheman5163]

Get a wok cleaning brush from an Asian store to clean your carbon steel pans. Very stiff bristled and works great on my wok and my own carbon steel pan. Just use hot water and scrub. The Chinese use peanut oil to season their woks and high heat wok cooking. My carbon steel pan has replaced my cast iron pan for everything except cornbread. Much lighter and easier to handle.

[@totherarf]

Real words of wisdom there at the end Mr Wadsworth! I seem to remember being taught that adding a thin layer of Salt to a new pan and heating it until it changed colour was the way to go. Obviously you still need to season on occasion though ..... Coconut oil (solid at room temp) is the choice for me. Wipe on, wipe off as they say! ;o)

[@scottmcintosh2988]

Always learn from you !!! Thanks !!!

[@mcd5082]

Amazing video! Such amazing craftsmanship

[@jonneil3086]

Beautiful shop

[@tonyc.4528]

Good stuff!! I season cast iron with Crisco. I'm not sure where that falls in "smoke point", but it works great.

[@robertbeirne9813]

Crisco, aka vegetable shortening, will do the trick.

[@lazaromartins3058]

Daqui do Goiás Jaraguá parabéns obrigado por compartilhar com a gente seus conhecimentos.

[@stevenslater2669]

Arc cutting & welding without protection is a bad idea. Yeah, you can get away without eye damage from cutting out metal blanks. But the UV generated by the arc will damage your skin (including eyelids) if you do it regularly. We’ve all scrunched our eyes shut & looked away when someone nearby struck an arc, but regular exposure can and does cause skin cancer.

[@royreynolds108]

I found out something that most people don't consider. Infrared also causes problems. I found this out the last year or so while I was working at brazing. I brazed for over 14 years.

[@firemanj35]

Thanks for this video lots of great information.

[@geniuspharmacist]

Beautiful pan although I'm not a big fan of brass rivets and hope they can update the design with ones made of iron.

[@garethbaus5471]

That stainless under a power hammer moves almost as slowly as when I work mild steel by hand. It helps that I am still young, and swing a 4 pound hammer when I really want to move material, but my arm is still pretty weak compared to just about any power hammer money can buy.

[@ga5743]

Cool video EC it was a learning experience for me in many ways Thanks for the video. It looked like he has a Fontanini anvil just like Black Bear Forge, do you know if it is a new one ?

What a great episode 👏 👌. I'm a cast iron junkie kinda 🤷‍♂️. And I'm a bit obsessive about the maintenance of my "Tools" as I affectionately refer to them. Not as crazy as the dude Ryan mentioned.. but. 😵‍💫😂 Thanks again and Keep up the good work. Cheers 🍻, G. In beautiful Boulder City Nv. USA 🇺🇲

[@TheIrishdriven]

parakeet grit in a hot pan with a wet cloth scrubs steams it clean then light oil to coat to much oil will become gummy on the pan love the pizza oven great reuse thinking

[@andydsimmons]

Great video. Thank you

[@ThornAndel]

Awesome Craftsmanship! Hey whatever happened to the other pans you made and was going to give away to some youtuber cooks?

[@tonyn3123]

Excellent video. Have you determined who you plan to send one of yours for a trial cooking? If I am not mistaken, you announced that several videos ago. Thanks.

[@Jake-vq5kr]

Great video share 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@edbenedicto]

German music uses the anvil sound. Cymbals and triangles sound is improved by the stress in the metal caused by the hammering, bending process, I think. Not sure how cowbells are made. Cheerio

[@forestcollins2041]

I have some old cast iron what is the best way to refinish it

[@stagecoachfarmforge]

Wire wheel it if it’s rusty then season it with high heat oil

[@gapster46]

I bought a carbon steel pan several years ago. All attempts to season it failed. It’s been sitting in the laundry room for a very long time. This video has me wanting to by some grape seed oil and try it again. It really shouldn’t be as complicated as I’ve made it. I recently bought a cast iron pan and it took some time, but I now have eggs sliding around in the pan.

[@heinrichjanevanrensburg1900]

Nice to education thanks.👌🏻

[@WilliamFontaineJr]

I think it would be fair to say you could add to your list of skills along with contractor and blacksmith your a pretty good philosopher.

[@stoneinthefield1]

What steel is used for the pan (1030?) ? Where do you get it?

[@evanjohnson5401]

I thought that you want to use high smoke point oil because if it smokes it can add a bitter flavor to things. Amongst the other reasons shared in the video.

[@foxilicouse]

Does anyone know if you can use any mild steel to make these pans or should you use a specific alloy

[@montebegaye8912]

Hello can I take off a flimsy handle off a solid steel pan. The handle is flimsy when its full of food and carrying it around. Can I grind off and use new steel Rivets banged back in to a solid bar of a long square bare of new steel handle.

[@CaptainAwesome579]

@17:55 *Pedantic

[@TheStraycat74]

what carbon steel did you use for making those pans? been trying to figure it out and no one is sayin

Flaxseed oil works great
