Tammy W, did you check a hardware store, like Ace or True Value? I found old-style hand-crank there.

Could this be made some how without a ice cream mixer? The reason I ask is because churned Ice Cream is the old time way with the churn by hand mixer we had growing up and I can't find one! The one we had as kids is wore out from us using it as adults..my mom n dads favorite Ice is Butter Pecan n my mom has had a massive stroke in Nursing home for rehab n we wanted to do a cookout with them my brothers and I and would love to have this for them. Can you please help me Paula my Mom watched you all the time please help me. Thanks, Tammy S South Carolina

To Angie Reneau, If you happen to read this. I have recently lost about 40 pounds. I am super excited about that (I went from an 18 to a 12!!!)! I have a big sweet tooth so it wasn't looking good for me. I am a stay at home mom, so I try to walk with my daughter, she's almost 2, about a mile everyday. That is the only thing I've changed and the pounds started melting away. Well,that and my daughter is into everything and I also have to keep moving to keep up with her. Walking has increased my energy as well. I am able to keep up with her. Good luck to you on your journey. It isn't easy, but it is worth it in the end. Torri

How would I make this for a 6 quart freezer. Surely you wouldn’t triple everything
