Say it with me - LATHE LAMB! "Lathe lamb" was the phrase of the day when our hackerspace, The Rabbit Hole, went to Fedora Labs. Our mission? To primarily use only industrial-grade power tools to lathe roast and enjoy a whole lamb. That's right, lathe roast a WHOLE lamb! It turned out delicious - and here's how we did it!

Tools needed for roasting:

Three phase 208V power supply

Industrial Lathe

Leafblower

Ductwork for leafblower manifold system

Sawzall

Charcoal chimney

4-6x 8.8lbs of hardwood lump charcoal

1 bag of hardwood/fruitwood for smoking (pre-soak chunks in water)

Stainless steel wire

Clamps (capable of clammping on the spit)

Items needed for the lamb:

4 bunches of fresh rosemary, basil, and parsley

10 lemons

5 - 6 heads of garlic

Dried herbs: rosemary, oregano, and parsley

1 loaf sliced bread (I used multigrain)

1 bottle red wine

Plenty of olive oil

Sea salt/ground pepper

1 bottle of balsamic vinagrette dressing

Basting brush/turkey baster bulb pipette

Meat thermometer

2-3 trash bags depending on size

Large bore needle

Pliers

Butcher cotton twine

Items needed for the gyros:

Pita bread

Tzatziki sauce

Red onion, cucumber, and tomato salad (http://www.food.com/recipe/marinated-cucumbers-onions-and-tomatoes-94964)

If you need to move or clean the lathe:

Telescopic Forklift (Loader Lift Tractor)

Nontoxic degreasers!

Dish soap

P.S. We are very aware that this is overkill :)
