barkingmad got a reaction from WackoWolf in Can i live without a BYRNES TABLE SAW
I read all the previous comments on this blog, watched the YouTube video and scrutinised Jim’s web site. After using the best excuses I could come up with to convince my beloved wife that I really needed the Rolls Royce of tools, I took the plunge and ordered one. Shipping charges were breath-taking. UK import duty was eye-watering. But it was worth it. Even though I ordered the saw the day after the UK gave notice to quit the European Union and the value of the UK Pound hit the floor, I still don’t regret it. The machine is a dream. The quality is outstanding. It will last years and outlive me. I feel that as you only live once, if you get the opportunity to buy the best – go for it, because sometimes the chance only comes round once. However, we (I) will be living on bread and water for the next year or so and my beer ration has been halved!
By the way Jim. I couldn’t bring myself to cut off the European plug fitted to the machine, so I had to wait nearly a week before a Continental to UK plug adapter arrived courtesy of Amazon UK. It would have been heresy to use a set of cutters on such a pristine object.

barkingmad got a reaction from Canute in Question about stoves and how the rotisserie worked
Modeler12 I fully understand and no malice or criticism was intended. I wrote that sentence with a smile on my face.

Modeler12: I suspect that even if someone was able to produce a painting from the period showing the rotisserie in use you would not take that as proof.
The mechanism employed the use of a worm screw. This type of gearing gives very little resistance and while the impellor would turn relitvely fast, the spit would turn slowly and be still efficient enough to cook a piece of meat.

barkingmad got a reaction from Canute in Question about stoves and how the rotisserie worked
The system of using the heat from the fire or stove to drive a fan which in turn rotated a spit was a common feature in most of Britain's large manor houses/halls/castles of the very wealthy landed gentry before the advent of electricity. It you visit some of them today, you can still see the mechanism still in place in the kitchens. This system did work.

George Washington had such a device in the kitchen of his Mount Vernon home. See the article at: http://foodhistorjottings.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/view-up-presidents-chimney.html
