Elizabeth,
sorry, in the rush of last night (I actually put up the post whilst we still had guests), I overlooked your questions.
by the way. In the picture of the mixer, the bowl seemed long and narrow. Does that shape complicate the hook? As opposed to shorter and wider like my KA hook, I mean.
There are so many different types and styles of hooks but I was limited with time and ability to bend a rather convaluted spiral shape to fit the mixer and bowl assembly whilst trying to get tight bends out of 5/8" (16mm) stainless steel bar. You should have seen me grunting with a 3' long extension on a vehicle tow bar (that slipped over the rod) trying to 'cold bend' it to clear the bowl.
It will never move that it is now welded into the boss.
Ken,
(I think my KA hook could stand for some improvement)
You really do need the machine and bowl to 'fit the hook' properly. It is abit like making a shirt with dimensions only. Yes it will fit ok but would be better if tailor made.
And definitely NO to going into a new business. I would end up making them all for the cost of materials.
I developed a new process of making printed architectural surfacings for the model railroaders in the UK, printed 10's of thousands of different sheets in various colours, styles, brick bonds etc but look to doing what I want to do rather than what I need or have to do today.
Jed,
It'll be so much fun making and baking, you might need to get into the butter and honey business to keep the toppings ready for the bread and buns!
I will be making some batches of 'hot cross' buns with a spicy chili cross (isn't that why they call them hot cross buns?)
Francis,
I have been sort of keeping an eye open for metal working courses here... but no luck so far.
