Recently shopping at Ollie's in our city, and I found a 2nd Lodge cast iron griddle for $30 at Ollie's.
I'm guessing they are slightly imperfect to land in Ollie's, but I thought the flat side was nice and
it will be great to use a magnetic dial indicator.... now I just need to weigh the parts, combined to
see if my drawer slides that I purchased for a wall cabinet will work.? We got an Ollie's during C-19
lockdown and we have finally gone in the store about 5x in the last year.? I remember when this
topic was posted previously.??
The "plan" was to make something to hold the cast iron griddle, that could be put back into the?
unimat cabinet for storage off the bench surface.? Now that I have the griddle decision made
it is easier to build the wall cabinet, surely a unimat and griddle will not exceed 100 lbs as I would
not be able to lift it off the drawer slides for use.
Home depot lowered the price on butcher block surfaces - I want one, but it stayed in the store!
Next is to figure out how to mount a unimat to a cast iron griddle... I'm assuming a drill and bolts
will do the trick.? I did buy some beautiful figured cherry late winter, perhaps that will become?
the Uni case.? But it needs to be dried, so this is going to take a while.... he has promised a solar
powered small drying build for bowl blanks and wood....this year... will use You Tube resources.
I have never drilled cast iron, and the back side has ridges for grill marks, so I'm assuming I'm going
to mill those ridges off, where I place the bolts.? I'm glad I own a taig mill, although I was thinking
that Mr. Pete doing accessories to use on the Uni on a big machine was irritating... but now I've come
off my figurative ledge on the subject.
What speed do I need to drill in cast iron with a drill press?
