It takes less than an hour with the proper sanding discs.

I don't know why but this is so funny. I guess I'm just visualizing the whole scene.

You keep defending that position, so... there is no other choice... I knight thee Sir Egg Pounder - pounder of eggs.

Do you crack whole eggs into the pan without mixing them first? If so, mix them first. I shake eggs, salt, and pepper together in a jar with a lid before scrambling. That's ready when I put butter in the pan. I don't "pound" or even chop eggs. I stir them with a wooden spoon or a spatula.

Exactly. Sounds like the OP is not using the proper method, and also must be cooking the eggs until they are rubbery if he has to "chop them into pieces"! If someone set eggs in front of me that were cooked that hard, I would send them right back. Yuck!!!

Could be, but why on earth would I buy cooking implements that I have to first attack with sanding discs?

This sounds like my dad's requirements for scrambled eggs. He will not eat any eggs that are in any way still moist (or, has he puts it, "raw and snotty"). Also won't touch a runny yolk.

Because it makes the finish closer to that of the vintage skillets. However, even the rough ones get smooth over time as the carbon layer builds-up.
