DIY Cotton Candy Machine

1 decade 1 year 9 months ago

I really think this is a cool project and I LOVE cotton candy. I have no idea how I would weld the two small bowls together but think the rest is manageable.

Yeah 'DIY'

If you can weld

And can smoothly cut holes in metal

And have a surplus 1500rpm motor lying around

And a hydraulic plug and cap that you have centre drilled, and tapped of course

And you have a bench drill

Oh, and a butane torch

Basically... if you have a complete toolshop and good mechanical skills and spend $45 then sure, you could build this... (And hope that your welding etc. remains intact at 1500rpm) or you could just spend $45 and buy one.

except your plastic chinese-made thing will fall apart after 3 uses, while that contraption will still be making cotton candy for a post-nuclear apocalypse society.
