    Hi Bonzo
    This is a work of love. Can you build one for me and one also for my best friend? How much?
    Ihave a KitchenAid mixer but I want this device removable. Is that possible for I use my KitchenAid for other purposes.
    Please let me know.
    Regards to you and the luckyGF.

    Bedtime, was a pleasure reading this thread, I was so happy to see that you got this completed. Looks like a beast of a machine. That being said, now that you are years into this, how do you feel about it? Anything you wish you did different? Overall, I love your design and plan on basing a build on yours so long as you don't object. Thanks for any advice!

    The rotating arms would be better if there was a curve where they are in contact with the taffy so that it would self-center. My arms are straight so I have to babysit a little to keep the taffy from drifting off of the arm.

    I'd also probably add a chain tensioner. Mine works fine without one, but you can see the chain get tight and loose as things rotate.
