The top hole in the handle isn't centered to prevent the handle splitting. With both holes (and thus screws/pins) in a straight line the wooden handle might split along these 2 pressure points on the same length of the handle. The off centered top screw would give pressure on a different line in the wood, spreading the pressure - preventing a cracking handle.

There are literally billions of products made of wood on which the screws, nails, rivets or pins are in a straight line and it’s not a problem. It’s obviously just crappy workmanship.

If you were Japanese, you would know that hibachi means fire bowl and are typically decorative...which is EXACTLY what this is.

@rude5150 Ай бұрын

@@higgy82 Japanese hibachi is not just a fire bowl. You can find this out by searching for “火鉢.” There are no holes in the bottom as in this cow-shaped grill. It is made of ceramic or wood, and ashes are placed in it, so that heat is not transferred to the bottom even when a charcoal fire is built. The hibachi basically functions as a heating device, and the cooking ability is secondary. Sorry if this is hard to understand due to machine translation.

Your video sent me down a rabbit hole to learn about cast iron cookware, its history, how to maintain it and why despite its many advantages we often think of newer pans as being superior. From this I have learned that cast iron is an extremely old invention designed to solve what I always thought of as a modern issue, non-stick cooking, and that seasoning not only provides non-stick characteristics but also protects against corrosion.

Hi, we owned this (not the cow) type. They were popular in the mid-70s. The Cow style motif is just a motif offered by this company. They were high-massed and produced in the western hemisphere. they are not From Japan (only the name Hibachi), which is a generic term in the West (meaning BBQ) BTW these were DYI BBQs. Kits and you assemble yourself. I put together years again. They were not meant to last more than a few years.

O.T. Very nice work, but I do have a good suggestion for you.. i see lots of people still using WD-40 as a penetrant.. Save your WD-40 for squeaky door hinges and make yourself a 50-50 batch of Acetone and automatic transmission fluid.. It makes WD look like water and its dirt cheap to make.. It has been tested by Project Farm and out performed even the most expensive penetrants... Thx for sharing and bringing us along on another O.T adventure... Take care my friend and God Bless...

@TheKalkalash Ай бұрын

The reason for the non-centered handle hole is most likely the poka-yoke method. The method aims to design parts so that they can only be assembled one way. The handle probably has an intended orientation to it (like one end being wider than the other). With the off-center hole, an assembly worker can only put the part on one way. This removes the need to have a reference picture to see which way the handle goes, and it also reduces the risk of mistakes.
