New From the Mailman!......
« on: June 13, 2016, 05:37:08 PM »
[size=14] Mailman wanted to know: "What is it? Cause it sure is HEAVY", it MUST be Cast Iron !!

Me: Hmmm.... Hmmmm.... uh.... I don't remember buying anything.. 

Mailman:  "You need to Stay Off the Internet"!   
Hadn't a clue until I opened the box.......

Well, it did take awhile! (Special Orders usually do!)
 But it has arrived!

Now last summer after ordering my lid, I was visiting a buddy and buying some iron, and just happened to spy some Lodge CDO's...

Just couldn't remember exactly what size bottom this lid was going to fit...... so... I bought one of each!

(Pssst to self... it is the #12 that it needed)

Mine showed up today too.  I had the same thought, I don't remember ordering anything and was surprised when I opened it.  It is indeed heavy and nice.

Keith, the first WAGS lid was produced in 2012, and silly me did not order one  :'( :'(

This time around, I did! :)

And a BIG Thank You to Roger Barfield for ALL his efforts in having these custom 'club' lids produced !!

It is a LOT of work and long term effort to see a Custom Item thru ordering, production, and delivery.

And these items are produced for, and available to, WAGS members only.

Cheryl, what were your thoughts on the packing job on the lid?  ;D

Mine showed up yesterday, too. And I had no idea what it was. Unfortunately, mine showed up with a hairline crack in the rim.  :(

Jonathan, lets just say... I was a little worried when I saw the box with that much weight to it, although I didn't know what it was at the time....

With the packing, it didn't move at all, but a Medium Flat Rate box was a snug fit for sure. :)
