That sounds like a great way to learn what not to do with a whisk, but keep the safety gear on and the work area clear of food. A quick test cycle could be: mark a spot on the handle, tighten the screws a bit, give it a single vigorous stir, then stop. Watch for cracks or metal shavings. The trick is to make each failure obvious so you can catalog the exact point of failure—no half‑finished disasters. If you want a rapid-fire series, swap out the whisk after each failure, but always reset the tension and inspect the new piece before the next whirl. And remember, the only thing worse than a whacky prototype is a kitchen that smells like metal.

Sounds solid. Just remember the screws have a max torque—over‑tightening will warp the handle and throw off the whole balance. Use a torque wrench if you have one, or at least keep a thumb‑feel: snug but not squeaky. After each spin, let the metal cool, then wipe away any burrs before the next round. That way you’re cataloguing real failure modes, not just a rusty mess. Ready when you are.

Good plan. Just keep the torque under control and make sure the wheel stays balanced—otherwise you’ll end up with a spinning disaster instead of a data point. Log each failure, note the torque value and the number of turns, and you’ll have a solid dataset before you feel like calling it quits. Fire away.

Sounds like a plan. Make sure to note the exact torque each time—you’ll get more useful data that way. Good luck, and remember: the first crack is often the most telling.
