Reused cast iron

Well, today is so far a good day. Yesterday, I painted a cracked cast iron skillet with a satin black spray paint. The pan had a fairly large crack that looked like it had been braised, but there was still a place that was obviously cracked. I had purchased it at a yard sale, so not much spent on it.

My niece is getting married, and she wanted some cast iron to cook with, and so I have put together a set for her and have painted this skillet and I am turning it into a clock. I think it turned out pretty cute. This skillet I originally bought for her, but when I was cleaning it found the crack. We still have to put the movement on it and it will be all done. Yeah!
