Kev,
That's awesome!!!
Does your book have a recipe for the wafer iron???
Guess who I'm gonna ask to make cones the next time my kids make DO ice cream?
I think my sister has my dad's tapered cone thing he used when doing Norwegian cookies at Christmas in a similar iron... The wafer gets wrapped around it before it cools and hardens. I got in big trouble when I was a kid, 'cause I chucked it up in a drill motor and slipped my fly rod blanks onto it to sand down my cork handles...
Paul,
Here's a few of my tall base irons...
Left: Wagner Square - Center: Griswold Heart Star - Right: Wagner #8
Paid $26 for the Wagner Square and I've seen those go for over $130...
Paid $31 for the Wagner #8 and I've seen those go for over $80...
Unfortunately, I didn't get no bargain basement steal on the Griswold...
Let's just say I've seen 'em go for over $330, but I paid nowhere near that, Uh-Huh...
