Chief Yaw Ennin, a talented Ghanaian repairer has created a machine made up of plywood, nails and other tools purposely for pounding fufu.

Fufu is a Ghanaian delicacy that is prepared by putting boiled cassava and plantain in a mortar and pounding them until they blend together into a heavy ball.

This is a stressful process as it usually requires someone to do the hitting whilst another person turns the meal in the mortar continuously until it's ready.
