Spiral mixers are efficient and effective dough mixers. They differ from the planetary (or KitchenAid) style in two very important ways.

First, there is an agitator arm in the center of the bowl that prevents the dough "riding" up the hook, getting stuck, forcing you to stop the machine and slide it back down.

Second, and most importantly, they are specialized; designed with one purpose in mind, kneading dough. To achieve that, the bowl rotates around a rotating, and fixed, dough hook.

I'd like to propose a few more workshop/classes on some of the textile tools available at the space. The rug tufting class has to be one of the most successful operations at MakeHaven - why not have some special training available for CNC Embroidery and the knitting machine?

Curing meats and cheeses and apparently guacamole making? So many options! Hopefully we could build one with a low cost frost-free fridge. Some videos: ttps://youtu.be/E-LkazzWnPM or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRi1QPsYAgc or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtXwZEo-AQw
