Introduction: Potato Peeler
Peeling potatoes is one of the most disliked chores i need to do at home. It takes a lot of time, especially when I peel small potatoes. I needed to make this process faster and easier.
Project is very, very simple, but it does the job.
Supplies
Bucket with lid
Sandpaper - I used 40 grit, but i think 80 grit is better
Hot glue
Threaded rod with 2 nuts and 2 pads
Bearing (inner diameter same size as threaded rod)
Drill
Step 1:
Cut out a circle in the lid with a diameter slightly smaller than the bottom diameter of the bucket.
Step 2:
Using hot glue, adhere sandpaper to the walls of the bucket and to the cut-out circle. Also, glue the bearing in the center of the bucket bottom.
I additionally secured the sandpaper to the disc using staples.
Step 3:
Tighten the cut sandpaper disc very securely onto the threaded rod.
Step 4:
And thats all. Pour some water into the bucket, add potatoes, attach the drill, and start peeling.
