Abstract: A portable rowing machine is disclosed that includes a tubular frame consisting of two parallel tubes positioned and supported by floor brackets, a seat that is removably situated on top of the tubular frame and slidable along the tubular frame on rollers mounted to the underside of the seat, swivel arms attached to brackets and extending perpendicularly outward from the tubular frame, and oar arms attached to the ends of the swivel arms. The tubular frame includes a telescoping portion enabling adjustment of the length of the frame from a compact storage size to a size desired for a users leg length. The swivel arm brackets are pivotally positionable in a storage position and a working position. The oar arms are adjustable in length to suit the users body size. A clutch bearing and band brake assembly provides oar arm motion resistance comparable to rowing a boat.

Abstract: A cutlet cutter cradles a slab of foodstock in a shallow bed within a horizontal surface along which the blade of a fillet knife can be moved. The slab of foodstock is secured and flattened from above by a presser, on which downward pressure is applied by a handle. Moving the knife along the horizontal surface causes the foodstock slab to be cross-sectionally cut into two fillets of consistent and uniform thickness. The presser keeps the operator's hand away from the knife's cutting edge, while the guide pins prevent the blade from slipping out of the horizontal surface.
