Dave.... Ha Ha That just ain't right.

I'm sure I had a picture of the kids doing it too, but I'll be darned if I can find it now.

So I'll have to substitute this one.

Yes I was on the throne and realized ya it makes a assload of cool treats, way more than a blender doh!

To the tune of approx 3 - 3 1/2 gallons. My recipe is :

- 1/2 gal cactus juice (1.75 Ltr bottle)
- 7/8 bottle triple sec
- 4 cans 12 oz limeades (or 5 10oz cans)
- 4 beers (yup ....... beers)
- 18 -20 lbs ice
- very long handled spoon to unclog disposal when too much ice is poured in.

Mix all but ice. Then slowly add ice until its the consistency you like.

I'm thinkin you're right on it with the portable thing BS. Workin on my own plans too. What did the disposal cost?

Overall, I think I spent about $170 (not including the first cooler I split the bottom of while trying to get the disposal flange in)

I just about have my machine done. Son is going to take the cart into work Monday for power coat.

I ended up putting the return to the cooler outside because there was just not enough room with the 3/4 hp disposal and a return in the bottom. I couldn't find a 2' piece of 1 1/4 clear pipe so I ordered 10' so I will have 3 2' sections left if anyone can't find a short piece. Cost would be $6.00 A foot plus the shipping.

I varied from the plans and went with 1 1/4" pipe all the way.

That is gonna rule! Love the clear pipe!

I ended up using In-Sink-Erator PRO ES 3/4 HP for $149.00 and it has a stainless grinding chamber as well as the blades. Damn thing was so quiet the first time I turned it on I thought there was a problem.

Here is some pictures of my cart finished.
