    Champion juicer for emulsifying. Wow!

    Since I am cheap bastard I mcgyvered one out of some 2 inch pvc pipe I had standing in the corner and used heat gun to shape it. Looks like it will work. Hopefully I'll get some time this week to try it out making hot dogs for the grandkids. Fingers crossed.
