Very nice work. I love how simple it is. Gotta build one for myself!

sound

Great job on the box! I just rubbed out a laquer finish on a old Lane cedar chest i "refinished " and i totally agree the rub out is scary for me too lol im way more comfortable wetsanding and polishing automotive clear lol i do want to build a small booth to spray my future projects in .

I've been told to sell the ones I make. Pretty close to what u made. Beautiful.

I did it with the woodglut plans.

Something very wrong about this video ..........

Very nice demonstration . Thank you.

Sir, I cannot find the plans on Etsy. I assume they are no longer available. Do you have another source? Thanks Steve Payne

Lacquer us SUPER THICK!!!! it dries FAST! you MUST THIN ITi finally got a decent finish with an 80% thinner and 20% Lacquer. Temp was only around 65°F !!! ...if you need to take an edge off or a drip, just use straight thinner, but carefully.

Very nice video and a beautifully made shelf. Well done

Trying to make one of these but the gas strut keeps cocking the lid to the side once installed. Any advice? I’m using an 80N as well rated at 18lbs. Thanks!

Muito bom mande um aqui pra mim aqui no brasil

How much with shipping to Southern California?

You never crushed a can. It looks to weak to do it, I'd like to see

Great work! I wanna build this myself. Can you share the plans for it?

congratulations on a very good wonderful job 💯👽

You can use a brown paper bag instead of the sandpaper and get the same, or better results, without the risk of burning through your finish.

He never crushed a can, and he did not make it, or it appears he did not make it for 16 & 20 oz cans. Did he?

How much sir Indian Money

More volume please. I had the volume all the way up on an external speaker and could barely hear you. Nice project. 👍🏽

Are you by chance selling the template for the can crusher? Thanks!

I can make it myself. Just got instructions from stodoys website and I'm ready for do it :D

well done. I am going to try this. I agree with you, the fishing part usually causes me to get a twitchy eye like Inspector Dreyfus.

I am a furniture maker. Finishing is the hard part, if you ask me. I can see that the grain on your project was not completely filled. For a humidor, most are lined with unfinished Spanish Cedar. The reason Spanish Cedar is used is because it is unique in that it does not expand with moisture. Because of the moisture, it is necessary to seal the inside of the box (under the liner) with a couple coats of shellac. It is also good practice to seal the outside of porous woods also. 10 to 15 coats of lacquer (sprayed) usually follows with sanding between every 3 or so coats. After the coats are cured (a couple of days, depending on environmental conditions). Sanding with a block with 800, then 1200, then 1500 grit paper, followed with rotten stone and oil on a rag, with give you a finish like glass, and just as reflective (like a piano). It gives the project a "wow" factor. It was hard to see in the video, but it looked like the hinge was well set in the mortise, A hard part for some. You did a good job on the box. I especially liked the perforated divider.

I use my foot

Found you by researching a wooden handled press for herbs and carrot pulp. I don't like any of the stainless offerings online and was hoping for one something like this. Imagine a filled nut milk bag (similar to paint strainer bag) in a food safe plastic container and nest another smaller container into it to pressure the pulp into giving up the last juices. The bottom one would need a spout to let it pour out but I think this is close! Nice work, simple and earthy look that fits with my décor and always handy! WIN_WIN!

awesome design! maybe it would be easier if the crushing platform allows the air to come out of the can. Maybe you should try drilling a hole in the the center of the crushing platform?

Based solely on what we first see prior to rubbing out procedures, it appears you didn't use any filler prior to applying the finish. I'd be interested in finding out from you whether that's true or not, and also, is you did use a filler, what brand and type. Thanks for your courage in sharing your thoughts and procedures with us and all the best with your woodworking projects.

Hey Steve. Thanks for the question. No stain at all. It's made from Purple Heart and Mora and Spanish Cedar interior.

oil stain ??

You have to wet sand with 400 until you almost get to bare wood and put a couple more coats on and wet sand it again until you can't see any grain. Fill the grain. Wet sand up to 2000 then swirl mark remover than car wax.

Thanks. Interesting.

Purple Heart can actually be buffed with no finish cause it's very hard.

Beautifully done. I would use a little trick, in order to make it easier to crush the can. (I'll try to explain my idea but, since English is not my mother language and I have little knowledge of the lingo used in woodcraft, bear with me) We know that if we start crushing the can sideways, the top-down force required is considerably reduced. I would place a couple of small vertical levers, in the lateral panels of the crushing chamber (pivoting axis front to back), spring loaded so the upper end of the lever would be inside the chamber, beneath the plunger. I would change the plunger bottom to create a truncated diamond shape, so when moving down it would apply horizontal force moving the top end of the levers apart. That movement would cause the bottom end of the levers to come inside the chamber and dent the can sides. After the broadest part of the diamond passes the top end of the levers, the spring on each one would bring them near, clearing the chamber to allow the plunger easily crush the weakened can structure. The diamond shape would facilitate the up movement of the plunger, thru the side levers, during the reset phase.

I also used the same rod on the "Crusher" platform as well

On both "pivot points" on the handle - the mid point and the base point I used a 1/4" × 20 threaded steel rod. The rod is secured at each end with a same sized "acorn" nut. Thank you so much for your question.

what kind of fastener did he use at the pivot points

Hello josvanr it is actually the scratches themselves that make the piece shiny and smooth. you must however, use a fine sandpaper when rubbing out the lacquer. No less than a 320 and even consecutively higher is better. The beauty of lacquer is that you don't have to sand with the grain however, sanding should create scratches in the surface not detectable groove. if you can feel them with a finger nail then I would suggest a higher grit sandpaper. 400, 600, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000. wet sand with water and a little liquid soap.

doesnt the scratches from the rubbing (in direction of the grain) make the surface very scratch prone? ie if you run your fingernail over the surface, perpendicular to the rubbing direction, do you see a mark?

Hello DA Lawn care I have an on line store on ETSY.com where I offer them for sale. I've failed to list any of my website or store info in my videos cause well, I work in wood and I wasn't thinking. if you go to Etsy.com and search "Wooden Can Crusher" you'll see me right away. thanks so much for your interest. Sincerely Steve - Timber Jacks Woodshop

Do you have a website where these can be bought

could you please make me this can crusher because i really lije this upgrade or create a video with measurments in millimetres. if you do acknowledge this comment please send me the crusher with all the peices un builts but already shaped so all i have to do is build it.I'll pay for shipping aswell

i like it.
