Just wanted to say thanks...I did this except I cut it to length and then melted the end using a heat gun to close the opening and used a angle grinder to cut a square slot for the new opening

I would love the plans for this

Found the link. 🙃 Thx

I’ve just built this out of some scrap wood - great plans, really clear instructions - thanks very much!

This is awesome! I’d love a copy of the plans please.

what are the measurements in cm bceause im from australia

Love your design and built one and added an improvement with a Spring to pull back the handle. Eyebolt at the hinge point back to the back board.

I would love the plans plz

Can i get a copy of the plans

I would like plans

Thanks for the good video and the plans. Very helpful. I made this for our son and it worked great. But, top handle pivot block takes the brunt of the upward force as the lever is pressed downward and it soon split. It was made from pine and was too soft. I recommend increasing the diameter of the through bolt and using hard maple for the pivot block and adding washers on all sides. Also helpful to glue or screw put a piece of hard board at the bottom of the crusher where it meets the top of the can to extend its life.

I used 2.5" pex screws to build. And 3." for support hinges

Im using my sliding 10" mitre saw to build my gate just like this!

Cool!

A thumbs down because You did Not provide measurements for the legs and dowels😮

I made a great big size one that allows me to flatten quite nicely them tall fat boy 32 oncers and aluminum bottles. If you can smash them up and I mean really smash 'em! then you pretty much have a REAL can crusher.

Outstanding idea.

Would love a copy of those plans! I have been looking everywhere for a simple can crusher design. Reminds me of my childhood ❤ Thank you for posting this 😊

Muito bom trabalho parabéns

No support beam to avoid the sag...yikes...wonder how it looks now in 2023...

Nice, thanks for sharing.

I’d love a copy of the measurements this is the best one I’ve found , thanks

Did you make the bandsaw from Mathias Wandel’s plans? My brother was in the process of building his when cancer took him away.

You won't find cheap Harbor Freight anything in my shop. I do have some self pride and lean towards quality over cheap prices.

Great tutorial! I've really been wanting to build a can crusher for a long time. Only thing is i really wish you had showed the crusher arm assembly. Is there anyway you can make a video of it? Maybe in an updated one? Id really like to see how it was made

Buenísimo!!!! Gracias!!

I'd like to scale this up to where it could crush 1 and 2 liter PETE plastic beverage bottles and gallon plastic milk jugs. Only issue is that the bottom plate would have to be steel, so that the neck of the bottle can poke through enough for the user to put the cap back on (otherwise, the bottle just expands again).

I know Woodglut has the best woodworking plans.

Hmm I want my cans half that thickness but could be a good starting design for me. I'll have to seee

Liked this video very much but I had seen other videos on can crushing where they recommend crushing the can upside down so the air inside can escape. If I were build one of these, I would drill a hole in the bottom of the base for that purpose and see if it isn't easier; i.e. takes less effort to crush a can.

When you say 1” by 4” do you really mean 3/4” by 3-1/2” Also the pivot arms say 70 degrees and in your video you say it’s 20 degrees, I’m only asking because I built mine to the exact specs to your drawing and it didn’t really come out right.

It's not really heavy duty but could be more with screws. People can say whatever but I've built a ton of stuff with plywood that's super sturdy. Not near as heavy. I like it. Way less weight . Nice little sturdy bench

Shit I just saw the date on this video is 3 yrs ago. I never check that stuff mate.. LOL..

that's a wicked build Randy mate.. Watching here in Ireland.. U got skills man. I'm trying to do a job on my cheap ass Table saw. It's a decent saw but the top is shit. That's the truth. The top isn't level at all so I want to put ,my own top on it from good 18mm Plywood. Do u have any advice for me bro? The saw has these little trunions that the blade housing sit into on which were connected to the old Table top. They look tricky to connect back up. My saw's blade housing has this weird top bit which means the blade can still cut u when it's fully retracted. I wanna change that which means I will lose maybe 5-8mm from the 80mm height but I don't care about that. I wanna be able to be safe as heck without worrying about my hand hitting a blades that aint completely hidden. This was a great Pocket hole jig build. Those machines look awesome anyways so for u to build one of ur own means u are pretty decent at this woodworking game bro..Salute to u and best wishes with Grandchild #2.. Happy New year to u all there

Hey Randy.. Love the saw but I wanted to see how u built the fence too bro.. U gotta do a proper video on all that stuff too man.. Don't gloss over anything.. Great job though man

That great

I like your dust collection on your drill press like to see more of it

very informative, well done :)

you wouldn't mind sending me on the plans please.

I'm definitely doin this.

love your clamp storage

here's my review kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNqVqcqD2de5oGg.html

Love it. I've got the HF pocket hole jig and I'm real happy with it apart from the dust collection. Going to give this a try. . Thanks for the tip.

I have done very similar with woodglut designs.

Thanks for the idea.

I made a Long Bar Double Clamp that covers the entire table. Here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbOojbOevLHXoqM.html

I was gonna go buy a can crusher tomorrow, but then I found this video. Suggestion: wrap the handle with some thick twine, then dip it in some Plasti-dip. You'll end up with a slip resistant handle with some texture to hold on to.

Seems elegantly simple, i like it better than a lot of the designs i've seen. Have you used in much in the years since you made this video? Anything worth noting?

Clear and concise, great video mate!
