So I have been pondering that hide breaker that is somewhere in this (how-are-rabbit-hides-processed-commercially-t24045.html) thread. I couldnt be bothered to search it out as time is limited this morning. :lol:
But anyway, the engine part of it has been eluding me a bit as I am NOT mechanicle in any way. The wood working bit I think I can handle but the engine, not so much.
Then the idea struck in the night!
How about using a treadmill? They are cheap enough on CL and the box with stampers could be bolted onto one end and the engine attached via belts on the other. Compact, inexpensive and quiet.
Any thoughts most welcome on my idea, my eldest son and I hope to try making one this summer.
