With how modern tables and countertops are made there is really no way
to secure a manual grinder without it causing damage... especially a
grinder of that size... that thingie is almost as large as an
automatic transmission. If you used your kitchen table someone with
an obeastie butt would need to sit on the table lest it move across
the room... and most styles of today's kitchen counters really have no
place to clamp anything. To use such a grinder one would need to
invest in a large heavy table just for that use.... mostly such a
grinder is used by hunters outdoors in cold weather, likely clamped to
a heavy work bench in a garage or tool shed... the meat stays cold
this time of year naturally, the hunters stay warm by slugging down
hootch and jerking each other off with their tales of prowess stalking
Bambie's mom with laser guided gun sights.
