Billy, Charlie et al

Have finished making the apple pulper and it works fine. An old $10 waste
disposal unit, taken apart and cleaned up and then reassembled. Now in its
own collapsable stand. It can be lifted in and out for portability and sits
in a small aluminium sink. After about the 8th apple the pulped up apples
start sliding out the bottom tube. Each whole apple takes about 5-10 seconds
to become mush. The pulping will be over in a few hours rather than the 2
days processing through the food processor. The WD unit must be easily 20+
years old and is solid so should handle a bit of abuse.

I reckon even Charlie couldn't have make it any cheaper.

Roll on Easter.
