The Mix Machine

Peter Von’s first device, The Mix Machine, today resides in its permanent home in Chadstone. It has an antique gramophone horn used as the funnel for the mix. A watering can is heated by an old brass and copper gas ring from an obsolete laboratory, and it pours the mix into a tin dustpan to create giant pancakes.

The whole device is on grand cast-iron bench legs, cobbled to metres of copper and brass tubing. The machine is all linked by ancient plumbing fittings, marbled paint work and metal polished to perfection. Apparently some customers almost believed it was all possibly real. Obviously Peter Von was on the right track!
