I have just ordered one, but haven't got it yet. They're called ODJOB mixers
and they look great. They take up to a bag of plaster or sand/cement and
there's a table so that you can add the exact amount of water. Then you roll
it on the ground for a minute and it's all mixed. That's the theory anyway.
I'll let you know how I get on.
