It works very well. http://www.leemfgco.com/Default.asp Here is also a website from a person that did build his own. http://web.dbtech.net/~johnson/cookers/ ... eller.html. The roller assembly for the Lee can be bought for $30. If you plan to build your own then it might be worth it.

There is also a metal tray mounted level with the wringer to hold the peas just before shelling. Can shell a bushel in about 20 minutes.
