@Pro_Vapes that looks like a nice little gadget. Al keep an eye poen for one. Previously used a cotton bud cut at the end to make a small propeller, similar idear as yours until i tryed a model shop for a small boat propeller. Great little thing.
@Pro_Vapes i have a dremmel which is a similar device i just need a bit to fit in the end of it that will fit my bottles. Great idear though. Thanks.
Many have used a length of kanthal or other wire, to make a frothing attachment to the drill
I made my engraving tool into a frothier… with twisted wire …I posted a picture on here a while ago I’ll see if I can find it?
@quitter1 I’m in the process of makin such a device. I’ll let you know how it works. Thanks.
I second @quitter1’s idea. I had a frother that was just sitting there because I mix in bottle and the thing didn’t fit down in the bottle. So I made a kanthal whisk and stuck it in there. Works like a charm and fits into tiny bottle necks.
Thanks for the idea @JoJo I just made a kanthal whisk to use on the drill…haven’t tried it yet but it looks good…I was using a coffee stirrer that was cut on the end to look like a propeller but this looks like it might froth it a little better than that
Was just wondering mate. The only times Ive ever heard the word “idear” was around here in New York
@Damondo​:smile:
A propeller! Perfect. I have to find one now. I used a nail polisher thing that my wife had laying around (don’t tell her) and modified it a bit and it works great. I’ll post a pic of it once the phone charges.
The tip on the shaft is a gutted Nautilus coil head with the twisted 26g kanthal poking out of the wicking holes and bent back. I filled the coil head with rtv silicone to minimize wobble. The only problem is the momentary switch. Have to rewire it with a 3V power supply and a pot to change speeds - and a stand so I can do other things while it stirs.
@Lostmarbles im busy just now trying to figure out how to make an off center wooden box with compartments i can fit into my drill press. It has good speed control and i can leave it to run to get on with other things. I’ll post a pic if it works. It would only hold 30 ml bottles due to reach of drill press but your idear seems ok for bigger bottles.
Oh, it’s complete overkill on my part. I realize that but I have to keep busy or it may lead to more dangerous projects like making a time machine out of my Ford Focus (I can’t afford a Delorean).
@Pattie ; I velcro a bottle of juice to my rat terriers collar, open the back door and yell…“SQUIRREL!”…and after an hour of him running around the yard looking for that critter, I have perfectly mixed juice!
…just kidding! I use a milk frother. but not a bad idea for the energy use of a rat terrier.
