Q#1;
I recently came onto a couple of ovens (which i now have in my shed :) one was a 12 inch metters, the pots in good nik BUT the legs have been cut off and the lid has a chip out of it. I have a Etna (i think) 12 lid that fits but needs a clean up...now i have a moral dillema discard the old lid for a non matched oven or run with the original and use it as an oven only pot?
Q#2
the other oven has a name under the handle on the lid, "Simpson" I've not heard of them before is there a thread somewhere to track down some info

         i have had good results welding chip's in lid's with
a gasless mig, only weld 5-10 cm max at a time, time consuming but work's, clean with wire brush in between weld's & grind back afterward's.
this all depend's on size of chip, but have done 1 with about half a 10c piece missing.
some cast iron is better to do than other's but you will
know with first weld :o

Thanks LF and 69c
re the simpsonI will try to post a pic when i get a chance.

re the welding... i don't have the missing chip which is about 35mm by 75mm  or 1.5 inches  by 3 inches the nice lady i got it off suggested "just pop some tin foil under it then put the lid on" which would work in an (household) oven, but not for coals, i really want to keep the oven together...but it won't do what i want; ie put coals on the lid and cook like it was made to to.
I could change the lid but its not the same..  does anyone else have a superstition like that or do i have cronic castironitis 
i think i need a beer
