          Was looking at doing the same thing by putting a gusset across there. But will wait for 50 pounder to be available. This has to be a design flaw. Should be angled the same as the outer paddle. Weston??

            PapaSop Yeah I’d wait. But before we sell them it looks like I need to do some testing on large batches, like 40 lb of meat and then seasoning/additives with cured meat to make sure that this is going to stand up to the abuse, how sad, I have to make more snack sticks!

              I’ve also thought about cutting and inch or so off the ends of the crossbar of the “T” to cut down the drag and reduce the stress on where it connects to the shaft.

                That truly is sad. Well, if you can’t force yourself to eat them you have my address. 😉

                    @Fat-Bob I tried paint and drywall mud mixers but meat is too fiberous. I made several designs and like the one I use now. I put big alternating spoons full of moose pork spices potatoes onions etc in a stainless pail and place it on the floor. I sit down on a chair and hold the pail with my feet while I plunge the mixer up down and around in the pail. Protein extraction is easy and you can get the dough consistency to your liking. Hope the picture attaches

                          Brianzipperdog123 That’s strange, I’ve never had an issue. But then again, I use a corded Milwaukee, 1/2" drill/hammer drill. That thing will turn a car over if you can hook it up. Tons of torque. lol

                              When I do small batches I use a corded 1/2 drill with a lot of torque. Turn every time. I do keep a stainless mixer just for meat purpose (no paint or drywall mud, not the kind of binder I use)

                                Chef Why use carrot fiber when mud is so cheap? Still use a clean 5 gallon bucket though. lol

                                  I do not have a mixer either, am new at this. How do I know when it’s mixed properly?

                                    If you are hand mixing your hands will be freezing cold, cramping, and You’ll feel Your forearms burning. That’s when your done. It will also stick together and when you stretch it, it will be very tacky and stretch like dough.

                                        It is not too bad if you are doing a small batch (<5lbs) but your hands will feel like meat clubs. My brothers and I would tag team, even with an insulation layer your hands will become numb, but you do get a pretty good upper body workout. A good mixer is a game changer.

                                          Thanks everyone, so mixing by hand, say a 5 lb batch, how long would that need to be mixed?
