Homemade Wooden Can Crusher 

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

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

Made one using your google docs! Works well! Thank you!

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.

After searching through a bunch of RU-vid videos for a can crusher design, I finally found yours to be the best of all. Works like it suppose to without any problems, thanks, you got another subscriber and a like.

Been looking all over for a simple can crusher, this looks great! I’d love to get ahold of those plans!

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.

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 😊

Looks like a very simple design and a great can crusher tool. I would like a schematic of it please.

I've never known for sure before, but; now, it's clear. This is my absolute favourite RU-vid video that I've ever seen - and I've seen literally dozens of RU-vid videos - and there will never be another like it. And I must also agree, that's a nice little can crusher. ♥

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.

Thanks for providing a simple effective design. I spent the day making one of my own!

Fun project. Squeezing the can provides less strain and longer life on the apparatus. Crushed over 900 cans, works great!

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.

Easy to build. Great plans - thanks. Read through all steps before starting and it goes quickly. Thanks for sharing.

I would love the plans for this

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.

Made this today thank you for the plans they were easy to follow and understand

Very nice affordable design that many people can make from scrap wood. I always slightly dent the cans myself. Tip: You should drill a couple of vertical holes in the presser block to allow the air to escape from the top of the can. It does make a difference in the ease of crushing a can.

Found the link. 🙃 Thx

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

Your hands got really close to band saw you should use a push stick

Nice work. Thanks for share drawings

I didn’t get the plans. My wonderful cousin sent me a can crusher. You did a beautiful job. Thank you so much.

Nice Job !

I built this today. Only modification I made from plans was instead of using wood block in front to hold the stomper so it doesn’t come out, I routed a slot down one side and put a screw through the side into the stomper but left it loose so it could slide up and down.

Inspiring video, you crushed it! Plans look good too.

Sos lo máximo amigo gracias por subir tus planos eres lo mejor bendiciones

Thank you.

Nice, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the idea.

very informative, well done :)

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

Thanks, I just made mine !!!

thanks RPG Woodworking for the nice and simple project

Nice! Imagine extending the arm with with a pipe for more leverage! I wonder how well it would crush them then?

I wish this could be mounted on a platform with a board in the back and it's a little heavy on the bottom and that way you can sit there and Crush can't that would be cool without mounting it on a wall in the apartment life

Buenísimo!!!! Gracias!!

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

I would love the plans plz

Many thanks

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).

Muito bom trabalho parabéns

looks good i'd love a set of plans

I'm thinking this would go nice on/under my office desk. 'Cos that's where I do most of my drinkin'. For the obvious reasons.

Clear and concise, great video mate!

I like your design and craftsmanship. I've been wanting to build one but haven't a clue to measurements. I would love to have a set of your plans. Thanks very much.

Nice work, you don't tell us the most important though...the connection between the press arms and the crusher...

What if you have a catch when the lever is at the bottom it releases the lower shelf to drop the can? 🤔

Great job, Chief!!

Thank you for your job 😂

I need dimension plans please. Our recycling carrier is getting picky and I'm just going to start tossing cans. Space saver for sure. My shop needs this. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing,

Thumbs down because there are no GDMF plans bro, come on! I’ve been able to piece something together, but plans would have been a huge TIME SAVER. Please, at the beginning, add a blowup plan of the parts/pieces and measurements for crying out loud. I don’t wanna just watch how awesome it would be to have a homemade wooden can crusher. Thanks for posting an 11 piece (maybe?) can crusher that inspired my own contraption.

longer handle, great video

No details on hardware and I'm a rookie. Help?

Why am I up at two looking at this :P, was trying to find someone using a harbor freight winch motor to crush cans, not only that I want to make them into small crushed cubes

What wood was used in the project? thank you!

🔥🔥🔥

I would like plans

See it work @ 6:37

Fucking wizard level! I can't believe some haters down voted this

what are the measurements in cm bceause im from australia

Can you get me The plans

Hey randy I just watched your video where can I get those plans at?

👍🇧🇷

Can i get a copy of the plans

Porque todos los que muestran trabajos buenos lo hacen sin las medidas, medidas mijo, medidas.

How long is this supposed to take to make?

THANK YOU ,[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[

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.

nice..

Hi, can I ask you what you would modify to produce a longer stroke to crush very tall cans? I need a means to handle cans up to 20 cm in height. Is it just a matrer of lengthening the linkage, the piston and raising the arm? Sorry to raise this question so late but I need to keep my materials costs very limited right now. Cheers

Dope can crusher man. Any chance I could get the measurements please. Thanks

Why do so many people ask for plans? Just get a board and lay a tall can on it and you can figure out the dimensions on your own. Very easy guys try it

I have a need to make one of these thanks for the inspiration. What was the stuff you sprayed on the wood before you glued at about 2:40 ?

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

Could I get the measurements for the can crusher please

hi can i have a the plan for your can crusher thank you , i like your job on that

Hey randy nice can crusher there man are the plans still available if so could you please send them to me?

Did you make a measured drawing that I could follow?

Great video Randy! Would you be willing to provide me with the plans? I've been meaning to start recycling cans for the longest time.

hello to everyone! about the plans, I need to know in which units is it measured. We use the meter as unit in here. Thanks a lot!

I dont like doing exercises why I do this?

what is the best wood to use for this project?

i would like ahold of those plans!

Good morning. Please provide the dimensions of your crusher parts. Also let me know if we can communicate the same to others. Thanks

I would like to have the plans
