Look around old print shops and such. Many will have an old converter
they're no longer using.
You can hook up a big-assed single-phase motor to drive a three-phase

Check Fine Woodworking or Home Power magazine archives -- I vaguely
remember another clever way to do it, but I don't remember where I saw it.
Good luck,
John
