LOML is making her holiday candies, and ran into a problem. Her hand mixer has to be 86'd. Anyway, I hate to throw anything away especially if it has a motor and it runs OK. What could I make out of a mixer like this?

If the motor still works what broke? The gearing, the beaters?Bob

Nothing broke I don't think. She beat up some white chocolate and found a tiny metallic shard. I inspected the beaters themselves and found a nick where there was metal missing. So, I don't know if it came off the beaters, or maybe fell out of the motor housing, but we decided to pitch the chocolate, and get another mixer.

Is it variable speed? Depending on how slow it can go, there must be a ton of things you can mix with it.
How about putting a canvas inside a cardboard box with a foam sleeve entrance
dipping it into different color paints and making spin art:-)
On second thought, might as well put canvas on every interior surface, make multiple paintings at one time! You can open up an online store called JACKSON POLLACK 'R US.
That's all I've got. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!You don't need a parachute to skydive, you only need a parachute to skydive twice.Comment

Sounds like shop shelf clutter to me. It is too easy to mix paint with a drill and cheap paint stirers. 86 it.

You could make an underpowered two hole line boring machine with fixed spacing.
Add a foot pedal and some gears to make a hands free powered lazy susan for finishing.
Turn it into a potters wheel for really small projects like thimbles
Use it for a twin screw model yacht.Chr's

Universal motor, right? Lock a pair of vise grips on the shaft, hook an ammeter up, and see how much current it will draw before it smokes, then toss it.Sometimes the old man passed out and left the am radio on so I got to hear the oldie songs and current event kind of thingsComment

couldn't be a scam
But she threw away CHOCOLATE! You wouldn't dispose of a batch of chocolate in a scam, not even for a shiny new KitchenAid cement mixer. No, maybe a squash casserole or cookie dough made with Splenda...
