Reciprocating saw garlic peeler experiments

[tractorgp]

Had a bit of fun with this. Got the idea from seeing videos of the garlic being shaken by hand while in a glass jar.

Rube Goldberg would be jealous of that contraption.
What do you need that much garlic for anyway?

Have you seen the groundhog thread?

Wait a minute!!!! Are you suggesting that there has to be a purpose here? It looks like such fun, who could stop at just one bulb/clove?? I think it's kinda like a FEL....you "get by" until you have one, then can't stop finding new uses for it!!!

Yep...and I'm already thinking about dedicating a dull blade permanently to the garlic shucking task:hypnodisk:...could be the start of a whole new set of attachments for a reciprocating saw! :cool2:

This could give a whole new meaning to - morning breath. The only thing I don't like garlic on is my PB&J sandwiches.

Don't really need it, was just a short term obsession with the gadget

Out here I see large jars or bags of peeled garlic in the grocery stores, usually from China. Always wondered how they peeled it on such a massive scale. I can just picture dimly lit rooms and rows of children squatting on the floor with their peanut butter jars and reciprocating saws...

OMG! Wait until Ronco gets wind of this...what an infomercial this would make! I want one sitting right next to my Salad Shooter and my set of Gensing knives! I could use one next time I cook stew for 50 people!

Had to Google Ronco... maybe I should send the video off to them BTW made a big batch of garlic mashed potatoes tonight - GOOD!

I will try out a similar contraption next summer, when my garlic gets harvested.
There is no limit to invention and creativity in this world.
Thanks for sharing!:thumbsup::thumbsup:!

Guess if you have a big load of garlic you might even try it with a larger container. The main container shown in the video takes a whole head of garlic easily but with the power available in the saw might be able to go bigger without a problem.

LOve it! We do a ton of garlic every year. My life has been changed forever!
