Alternative uses for kitchen appliances

[Curlewcall]

We all know that coffee grinders are best employed mixing our dubbing, but I've just found out what pasta machines should really be used for.
I have a large roll of lead wire which I use occasionally, but it makes for rather bulky bodies. However, running it through the rollers of the pasta maker produces nice thin strips of even width. The 'Atlas' pasta maker can be set to produce different thicknesses, and settings 6, 7, 8, and 9 produce lead strips of 0.65mm, 0.42mm, 0.27mm, and 0.18mm respectively.

Of course, you'll need to give it a clean if you still intend to make your own pasta, but these days I'd rather be fishing!

When yer woman is feeling hot, and you'd rather be tying, expalin to her the secondary use for the washing machine..... and then just as the spin cycle reaches its 'climax', quickly shout "Sweet t!ts, is it ok if I buy that XP from the guy on the forum?" .................."Oh, YES YES YES" Job done.
