Folks my nephew is getting married (I tried to talk him out of it) this summer and his mother (my sister) wants to do the whole thing in a Renaissance Theme. Now I have been volunteered to build a spit to rotate a pig on for the event. Now I am a lazy man and eventhough there were no electric motors in Medival Europe, I am willing to forego realism for ease of labor on me. I am thinking about a 1/2 hp motor spining a metal axle (using pulleys and a belt or sprockets and a chain driven by the motor) on two A-frames made from post/logs. Has anyone out there done this before or something like it that I can shamelessly copy and call my own?
Thanks HogSlayer6 (kinda ironic with the username huh?)
