A stand mixer is just a drill press for your kitchen

As far as a lathe, maybe a pasta maker? Or maybe a meat grinder, since you’re turning a screw so it’s held at both ends and spins.

Deli slicer is obviously a planer.

Cheese grater is a rasp. Cheese slicer is a handheld wood planer.

@aurynn We have a vegetable spiraliser that is literally just a lathe
@aurynn tbh I am a little disturbed thinking about this, because I have used every one of those *today*
@aurynn one more for the toolbox, a stick blender is a dremel
@aurynn @timixretroplays When walking through the local dry-goods shop, I noticed an above-stairs/below-stairs class divide between the chrome-plated créme-brûlée blowtorches and the more utilitarian workshop blowtorches they also sell (both of which are the same size and presumably identical other than cosmetic aspects)
@aurynn <whipping cream in the workshop> dang, too for, guess I’m making butter again.
@futzle @aurynn
on the other hand, a drill is more likely to handle making mashed potatoes

@aurynn Absolutely. some time ago when our kitchen mixer broke mid cake making I annoyed* my wife by finishing the mixing job in the garage.

* not purposefully, but the inevitable reaction she has when something doesn't go as planned.

@aurynn I do have a kitchen hacksaw blade for food use
@aurynn Makita makes excellent kitchen tools.
@th
I have a similar grinder and this idea has certainly crossed my mind.
@aurynn
@aurynn and microwave ovens can be used as a crucible for metal casting.
@aurynn I have the equipment to make this test happen, but I'm afraid.
@aurynn isnt it from the JoJo universe?
@aurynn and a shave ice maker is the illegitimate offspring of a drill press and a Cuisinart
@aurynn Baking is just edible chemistry. Chemical engineering if you’re making something fancy.
@aurynn what's a deli slicer? chop saw?
@rho planer
@aurynn oooh yeah, tho this feels more like band saw cuts when using it
@aurynn
... Wonder if I can put a whisk on my drill press...
@Tourma try it and report back!
@aurynn A sewing machine is a bandsaw in reverse
