Dead Arm Mayonnaise

Many homemade mayonnaise recipes require power tools and face it, many kitchens do not have them.  I love this recipe because it doesn’t require any tools except good old arm power and it doesn’t make too much.  This is a concern because homemade mayo doesn’t have a long shelf life.  You need to use it up quickly.
