The catch was, it was made for the KitchenAids that tilt. I have an ancient brute of a KA that I suspect is more substantially made than the newer ones if other current appliances are any indication. The salesrep told me there was NO. WAY. it would work because the most it could tilt was 30 degrees without tipping over. Hubby likes such a challenge! All materials were things we had hanging around the farm. If I find I REALLY like this, I can always upgrade to a system that would have more capacity, but this will give me a taste of what I'm getting into. Geeks are THE. BEST. 😂
Amazing setup. Congratulations. He is a keeper for sure.
Another option for other DIYs who do not have a KA to try -
Today's 1/2" cordless brushless electric drills are extremely powerful and the battery long lasting per charge. A much smaller power source that is reversible, with variable speed control.
The installation/detachment of the rotating pan is easy without the need for using tools.
