We've made sausages for a number of our recent events. For our recent
Yule Revel they used two of the big mixers with sausage grinding and
then sausage stuffing accessories. I recently bought a cheapie plastic
sausage grinder stuffer so I could perhaps try to make some period
sausages. It won't hold up to much work and will probably be slower
than those big mixers, but it was much cheaper.

Getting the stuff into the links and how to twist them is covered in
the second file.
