A friend of mine whose family owns a machine shop in the area asked me if I wanted a hand-made wok. What he does is use the steel discs off of a disc harrow- they are 5" deep x 22" wide. He welds a stainless steel plug in the hole in the bottom, then buffs it out smooth. This model uses horseshoes for handles. The thing also weighs about 20 lbs and is solid polished stainless steel. It tapers to about 1/8" on the edge and seems to be about 1/4" thick in the middle. I can hardly wait to use it!
What a relief! To find out after all these years that I'm not crazy. I'm just culinarily divergent...
