The butter churner has an intangible significance representing the manual labour of the migrant families who worked in the dairy industry in northern New South Wales. They demonstrate the domestic work of women in particular, as
they were generally responsible for making butter. In regions such as India, traditional churners still prevail in rural areas due to the lack of electricity and appropriate funds. The paddle churner is one of the most effective churners that can be used in low income households, as it requires no electricity. It also uses the cranking mechanism in contrast to the loose dasher and container or pulley system. This sparking my motive behind successfully creating a butter churner using laser cutters and wood.
