[SEL] Paint Mixer-Off Topic

[Mark Shulaw]

That tool brings back a momory I had forgotten.
I noticed they say a "New Invention"  These fellows are either mis informed 
or just simply unaware that this is not a new idea. You know how it is, 
something gets so old or forgotten and it becomes new again.  I seen one 
used a long time ago. It was probably home made or maybe procured from one 
of the Rail Roads he used to work for knowing Grandpa. He must have lost it 
or loaned it out at one time or another cause I don't remember him using it 
in later years. Simple to make, like Dave says 7 or so links of chain, an 
odd number of links and a rod and wala a mixer.  Grampa  used it to stir 
his favorite roof coating, fibred aluminum roof paint. He didn't have a 
drill to power it but he did have a 1/2" electric drive impact and a socket 
If I  remember right fit a large bolt welded to the end of the rod. I have 
his old Ingersol impact now. The center link of the chain was welded to the 
rod too if I remember right.
  It got real messy if you were not carefull but it worked.

See ya all at Portland Swap!!
