Sana'a
First, I did not invent this. This Rotisserie has been around in some form or another since your wife was young. Every woodworking oldtimer has one of these "Blackpipe Rotisseries" for their wood finishing. At least as far back as the 1990's woodworking books show how to build this style of rotisserie.
Second, with all the Rotisserie posts today, I though I'd put this up without thread crapping on anyone else s post.
What is good about this Rotisserie is that you can get all the parts in one trip to the hardware store and put it together in less than a hour. If you are a handy sort of person, you probably have most of the stuff in the rafters of your garage.
It breaks down in less than a minute and stores flat.
Super sturdy because it is made entirely of metal.
It adjusts for any size playfield in seconds.
Everything is made from "Black Pipe". No welding and only one easy cut with a hacksaw gets you an unbreakable playfield Rotisserie.
