If you are like me and have used a LiL Chopper, you have probably like me done everything but run over with your vehicle. I have never been able to get any consistency chopping feathers. Now doing a lot of chopping, I was not at all please with the end results, so I got to thinking. Now after you read this, you will gain pounds, I promise, but that is part of the fun. What I am going to show you is just a proto type that I made up to see if it would work, and the results are amazing. Now instead of the aluminum suppressor that I have here, you need to use popcicle sticks. That's where the weight gain come in..but oh what fun.
The first picture is of two feathers chopped one right after the other
The next picture is a prototype I made out of thin aluminum to try
The next picture shows the suppressor inside the chopper profile
Lay the suppressor on the inside edge of the feather quill and pull down to the stop base
Put slight down pressure on the suppressor and close the chopper and wack it
Tow perfectly matched chopped feather one right after the other
See ya, I have to go buy 4 doz popsicles to do the rest of my choppers.
