Wow Vix , You have a Smart B/f , Makes it look so easy to push the clay through, Lucky you......... Have you sussed out how to clean the Pasta Machine, As I could do with cleaning Mine , Some time you think its clean then you get a bit of yellow in your White so Annoying, Its great for conditioning the clay In no time at all, But sometimes I find The Pasta can stick to the rollers Any tips to stop that? ?

Hi Pol. There's the greaseproof thing, but I can't get it to work. I'll post a pic or two of my machine at the end of the week and Ill try to show you how I [would] clean it [if I could be bothered]. ;D

Ok.... I cleaned my pasta machine last night, with a paper towel rubbed across the rollers, and that was it. It was a breeze! Took me all of two minutes. :-)
So..... either I missed something LOL or it was just easy because the clay had dried.

LOL
He's on a diet.... and doesn't drink! :-)
But I've asked him, and he's happy to make a couple for you guys.
He's already calling last night's version the Mk I model, and planning the Mk II model! lol
He's quite ingenious when it comes to stuff like that.

Yep... I think I mentioned that??
It's a caulking gun... with something to do with sparkplugs welded on the end, which fits the clay pusher perfectly. Then the plunger bit has been modified to fit the end of the clay pusher plunger, and hold it straight. And the whole thing has been shorted by a few inches! LOL
I think it could be made without welding, would just have a tendency to fall apart I would think. And he cut the end of the spark plug tube thing and splayed them out, but I guess a hacksaw would do that?
