How the hell have I ended up here?

I must really hate my life to be stuck here watching this 😂

Someone said it is a cheap project? Hmmm, $9.95 for long bolt, screws, nuts, and washers, $1.79 can of peaches, $2.25 coke, $5.95 for razor blade cutter, $49.95 heat gun, $75.50 power drill, and a couple of other things. This compared to a spiral slicer at Walmart for less than $20. No, it is not a cheap way to do it!

My life has been forever changed after watching this inspirational video. Before I watched it I was a 39 year old man who still lived in his childhood bedroom. But after watching this it gave me the inner strength to pack my stuff and move to the basement. There is so much more room for activities down there. Thanks Potato Slicer Can dude!

Clearly the breakthrought humanity has been waiting for. Nothing will ever be the same.

Guests at dinner party: "These potatoes are delicious! How did you make them?" Host: "Well, first I got me a complete tool shop and then I..."

I never fully realized what an unfulfilled life I had until I spent 16 hours building this and while rotating the last part of the potato sliced off the end of my index finger and thumb. Now I have encountered complete satisfaction of life.

Love the hilarious comments!! And the engineering was very cool and appeals to my geeky nature

This video gets the Guinness record on the number of expensive, high powered tools needed for a single tin can while not affording a descent can opener 😊

I am going to make these and give them as wedding presents

And here's me thinking it was going to be a starting handle for a Moggy 1000 & it turned out to be a spud slicer .😂😅 Wallace & Gromit would have been proud of you 👏 😊

No doubt the only one of these ever made.

How do I always fall for these videos 😢

I used mine with a string to call my neighbor. 😂

I just filed a patent for this idea, appreciate it!

Without a doubt, the LONGEST 3 minutes of my life...

I was standing out on the ledge of a bridge ready to jump when the police negotiator ruled up a large TV and showed me this video. I never realized how much I had to live for

Well, that's five minutes of my life I'll never get back?!

The hard part is getting hold of a can of Russian pineapple chunks and a Kvass bottle.

Missus would love that lovley looking thing in the kitchen cupboard 😂

Awesome...TIP, they have tin can openers now that leave all the edges smooth to the touch, no extra work in smoothing and no cuts!!

I don't know… I mean… At least if he had made it into a tin can telephone, we could have heard him say something! 🙂

The money you saved on the ancient can opener, allowed you to buy the drill and the heat gun and at least one bottle of soda and one can of whatever the hell that was. Good job dude.

There is a much simpler way to do this with a kitchen tool invented by a chef back in the early 50s. A long 'screw-like' center piece with a blade attached to it with a handle that is does exactly the same thing that is simply 'screwed' into the potato. If you cut through on side the finished string of potatoes to the center you also get another presentation of potatoes. I still have one of them and it works great.

love the can jumping out of the trash back into the hand!

Easier to just buy one!

Genius. Next week, a home made motorbike ashtray..

Yeah . Don't know how I've survived for so long without this.😊

He has all the tools but the right one for the job

Well hell I didn’t know a tin can could jump out of a trash can ether 👍

Not bad for someone having a mechanical workshop but impractical for the common homeowner. I would rather pay $10 for the real thing. Thanks for posting anyway.

All you need is a fully equipped machine shop to make a potentially contaminated skewer.

Absolutely ingenious! I love it.

Love this video. I don't know why but it gave me a feeling of watching Wallace and Gromit working away in a Grand Day Out. Something to do with the way it is filmed and the sound effects I think. 😁 👍

1959 called it wants it's can opener back, still liked this inventive neat video!

Quite a bit of trouble but neat. You know there are hand can openers that break the seal which leaves no sharp edges.

I was thinking this was going to be some type of bird feeder. I used to have a very simple kitchen gadget that would cut potatoes, zucchini, etc into spirals. It was metal with a screw type thing attached that went into the vegetable and a semi-circular blade with a hole in it that you put your finger then just turn the blade around like a pinwheel (or dialing an old rotary phone) and it cuts the spirals.

I'll never get that 5 minutes of my life back

No really i didnt mean it that u r boring. No really. U r brilliant. As for the potato spiral, my wife, she wore as her necklace to our anniversary dinner at our local fish n chip shop.

Some people have way too much time on their hands. I could have peeled and sliced that potato before he finished converting his tin can. But kudos to his imagination.

Straight to the comments because you know that some folks are losing their mind over this. 😄 Ill probably never make one of these but its very stimulating to watch the process and the ingenuity. Lighten up people.

Give this guy a decent can opener

THAT was cool to watch thank you

Awesome, wish I had skills like that.. lol

excellent litle video great tool making and very tasty looking result I love it

Has applied for 30 different patents. Da Vinci would have been in awe for that one!😂

3 minutes = 1 afternoon minimum

Great suggestion. Might I suggest you invest in a more modern can opener? Even a 20th century one would do the job safely and remove the need for the pliers to make the edges safe.

This vidéo is going to change my life forever !

Performer of ideas, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!

It might only take 3minutes but not everyone has all the tools it takes.

Love it... gotta try it thx for sharing

For the amount of time and materials this took I could drive to Walmart and get one for $2.49.

Going out to make one now !! I only need a Drill,Table top sander,dremmel,ink pen,drill bits,knife, length of threaded bar,nuts washers,green gloves,screws, OH AND A CAN OF POTATOES !!

How did we ever live without one of these things?

Very cool! I love repurposing and thinking out of the box.

truly, human ingenuity knows no bounds! 👏😅

I do like your tools.

Thank you would have never have thought of this definitely making one

Hahaha this one had me guessing all the way to the end LOL Awesome !!

It's amazing! I didn't think it was that stupid but I sat through that and actually watched it

Couch potato tunes in. "Hey, I might be able to do this! All I need is an old time can opener! And a snips. And a craft knife. And a pliers. And a marker. And an electric drill. An a mini whatyamightcallit. And a screwdriver. And a file. And a heat gun, and a vice, and a butane burner, and an angle grinder and a workbench, and a workshop sander and a gluegun and a pipe cutter.... and a tube of glue. But I only ever eat takeaway so no cans, damn it!" Nice little video though.

May I suggest you show the finished product first, then one can decide whether they want to put the time in to make it. For me wasting 5 minutes watching your video could have been avoided. Thanks for your attempt .

Thanks for not having a music backing , great idea and enjoyable to watch was going to happen !

Wow!! Longest 3 mins though lol 😆 but great result!😊

Nice project. Cooking temp and time?

How come I always get sucked into watching these videos from a mute?

Good 👍

It was 5 minutes and 41 seconds to be exact 😂

Belle trouvaille ingénieuse. Bravo.

Yes. You could have peeled and sliced...but once this has been put together you can use it over and over..and I bet it will work much quicker than your idea ..

So clever! Give this man a gold star!!

This was fun. Thanks for sharing. Cool idea.

I guess this guy has a lot of spare time on his hands.

That's 5 min of my life I'll never get back.

It's up there with the jet engine and hovercraft.james Dyson would be proud.

Pretty nifty ... you have some interesting ideas there Sir ... kept my interest up. ... God Bless

That is pretty nifty! Tyfs.👍

Almost 6 minutes of my life I'll never get back...Curiosity sometimes. just doesn't pay.

In order to recycle, you should rinse the can.

Good idea mate. In this day and age people are just going broke, start showing people more of this.

Super cool idea nice way to recycle stuff too.

a guy with a mustache used to do this on infomercials in 70s...but, you are indeed a PERFORMER of IDEAS..

I have often wondered if I could perform this spiral cut with a paring knife... I'm going to build this slicer when I get my Tax return 👍

This is a game changer, I'm going to make these , and give them out as gifts, totally awesome 👌

Slinky ka-bob. Awesome! Now I want to watch Deadpool again. 😊

Holly smokes all that for that 🤣🤣

he will never get an accordion sound out of a potato

Lot of work just to cook a potato.

And right now he’s working on a wind-up spring-loaded manual version of this device, for when the world goes completely off grid. All credit to him, this is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard, but building it keeps him off the streets! 🤓

SUPERB! 🎉 This project deserved a subscription to your videos! Done! 😊

This 3 minute idea took 5 min and 41 seconds. ,??????

👍👍

Brilliant !

Chefe du hast eine gute Idee gehabt ! Danke .

😳How clever 👏 👍

I'd never have believed that I could, just by buying and learning how to use $2000 worth of power tools, and by buying another few hundred dollars worth of all-thread and other materials, I could transform a can and plastic two-liter soda bottle into something that could make spiral-cut potatoes!

I am so mad I actually watched this for 5 minutes lol

Very cool!!!
