here is a very nice piece of home built machinery - there is a 3 part video,
and if I didn't mess up, the link will take you to the first one - this guy
did some very nice work, both aesthetically, and from a precision point of
view.

Nice. Since I collect antique electric kitchen mixers, it was neat to see it
being powered by a malt mixer motor. Hamilton Beach patented the first electric
malt mixer in 1911. They also used the motor by itself for powering other
items, sewing machines being the most common. It was marketed as the Hamilton
Beach "Home Motor" and came with a small pulley installed and a foot controlled
rheostat.
