kili,

It IS intimidating. No matter how many times you see it done on TV,
there's just NO WAY this powdery all purpose flour and eggs and salt is
gonna turn into pasta. It's a trick of the camera behind the scenes!!!
That is until you try it and it WORKS!!!

I had my doubts, too!

Just be sure to make a mess and have fun!

My very first few gobs of dough went back through the roller attachment
after I ran out of arm reach and the sheets folded and glued together.
Just keep the sheets short (2'-3') and lightly dusted with flour if they
get tacky as you roll out the sheets.

If I can do it, Kili, that speaks volumes for the rest of humankind.

The only hardship is TFM® having to do all that cranking and gathering
and shifting "gap gears" while you feed the dough in a straight line.
