I like it. It's simple, cheap, and effective.
There's just one thing missing...
Where's your pictures of your whizbang gizmo?
Your explaination is excellent, but a picture will allow us to
officially name it the Parham Bucketizer.. . or some other fun name of
your choosing.

buckets and this is the way I protected myself from this hazard, took
very little time and less than $5. Remember safety does NOT
cost money or time, but unsafe cost you and your loved ones. Instead
of a big drill I found a 1'' impact wrench on E-BAY and as this did
not have a chuck to hold my blade. I bought a 1/2'' floor flange and
a 4"X1/2'' NIPPLE at the hardware store, and then bolted flg. to
center of bucket. Then welded blade 2'' up the mixer shaft, inserted
2'' of shaft into nipple and now no matter what my mixer blade STAYS
in the center of my bucket. Worked on the 30 gal. drum I built also.
Just make sure you turn your shaft clockwise looking down and the
nipple will never come out. Also makes a handy holder, just release
the switch and everything stays put. I did put a 1/4'' wafer wood
false bottom on to hold the bolts.
