Oh, Mr Mayor! Fritz has fallen into the sausage machne, and now he's been turned into sauauauauausagesss!!!
If you can't find a small machine, you could get away with just a funnel and a push stick (wooden spoon handle).

the kenwood chef major has a good mincer that will do nicely, also does 101 other things. i love ours

Screwfix do a really good plastic pointing gun that works just fine. You need to do a bit of work with the nozzle but its as good as some of the sausage makers three times the price!

Right Pterry now, Yeh i liked Mort, but Truckers bored me to tears.
Good call on the mortar injector! Ideal for small batches of sausages.
So its the intestine for the outer right? can Deer intestine be used? cos i haven't come across any wild boar yet!
Rich

There's absolutely no need to purchase a sausage stuffing machine.... don't waste your dosh on it.
All you need is a cake icing bag (borrow your Mum's or your Grandma's) cut the end off to the appropriate size of sausage you want. Get some pigs or sheeps intestines. gather the intestines up and shove it on the nozzle end of the icing bag.
Now make your sausage meat and stuff it in the bag and give it a good squeeze, making sure you give the intestines a gentle pull, guiding the sausage into your hand. When you have a suitable length of sausage in your hand, or have used up all of your sausage meat, then cut the end off.
The sausage now needs to be sectioned into sausage lengths. This is done by twisting the sausage every three inches or so and then cutting them off. Of course you could always keep your sausage in one long length and coil it into the pan when you cook it.
Yum!

Boggle!!! Fantastic idea!
My kit came from Ascott Smallholdings - http://www.ascott-shop.co.uk/
More costly, but an excellent way of dealing with large quantities of meat - which, quite frankly, is the only way to go about doing this. Mincing by hand is therapeutic, too.
Which reminds me - high time I made some white pudding.
Good tip Sainthaze :biggthump a cake icing bag is realy easy to steralise and keep clean after you have used it.

Got myself a good old fashioned mincer at the weekend - £1 from a antique place.
Next it to liberate an icing bag. If it all goes well I think I'll invest in a grout gun

Is it just me? or does everyone have sheep and pig intestines lying around? I can't say i have ever come across any.
Rich
Rich... You probably wont see it for sale..... Have a word with your local butcher.... ours make his own sausages and always has plenty of intestine to spare.....

Bear in mind that commercially available casings are soaked in brine, so give them a good wash before use, also pig (hog) casings are for big bangers lamb casings are a more normal size.
