You guys have way to much time on your hands.

Wait till I come up with my steam turbine model. :eek:

Turbine model !!!:laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

Hey,,, a wood chipper would do too,,,, Eh ?????

I considering hooking up an 150 FICHT evinrude I have laying around my basement that I have no need for... I wonder how much torque that shaft can take?

:D

yes the wood chipper would work as well Van, but I was just thinking maybe I can hook up to one of the turbine here at work
seeing as that - I'M HERE ALL THE EFFIN TIME !!!! :smash:
3600 rpm - yea that's the ticket !!!

I think I need some time on the water ---- soon.
:wall:

yeah! autopsy gone wrong,,,horribly wrong.

Once Van got his muscels he passed this down ta me.

:) Anybody looking for a pully to attach to the #32 or 22 grinder can be ordered from Cabelas 2004 spring catalog page 265!!!
cost is 30.00 !!!

I have a #32 grinder which I have been using for a few years!!!

Came up with a new contraption this year!!!

Adapted a skim coat [plaster] mixer paddle and a drill to grind up the bait into chum!!!

The mixer cost about 20.00 and everybody has a drill!!!

Does a 5gal. bucket of herring in about 3-4 minutes and a little bit longer for macs, must be that the skin is tougher!!! Must have a cover for the bucket with a hole in it to keep the chum from splattering on ya!!!

Hey Van,
Great looking grinder. My girl gave me her Mothers old grinder made out of steel. I also have a 5 HP 3600 RPM gas engine laying around. How much of a mess would that make?
:D :D :D

Hi thefishingfreak

Just curious, but with that wheel setup of yours, does the grinder spin at a very fast rate, or do you control the motor spin some-how?

casper, the way it's set up with the small pulley on the motor and the large pulley on the grinder it spins pretty slow. i'd say about twice the speed you'd hand crank it. got plenty of power that way. this is actually the invention of a freind of mine, who put the 1/2 h.p. motor on my old mr. chummer.
once it's turned on aint no stoppin it. cept for bluefish spines.
used more for shark chum, got real big ports. about 1/2" openings.macks, herring small bluefish,,,like butter.
big blues, you gotta spine 'em.

:) I would like to see Cabelas come out with a smaler pulley!!!

the smaller the pully the faster it will go!!!;) :cool:
