8:30 Wrap the can in a sheet of sandpaper. Rub the handle against the can. Presto! Perfect fit. (You can also put handle in vise and rub sandpaper wrapped can against handle.)
A much easier way to get rid of the inner rim on the top of the can is to simply use the can opener in a regular fashion as if the rim was a solid top and you were opening a regular can. This leaves a solid rim as reinforcement as well as saving a lot of work. Its always great when we can make something useful from stuff normally discarded. Thanks for the video.
To make the handle a perfect fit wrap sandpaper around the can and rub the handle up and down on it. Hope that made sense. Great project love your videos.
WOW! That handle is ten times better than any metal/wire handle that I have seen, thus far. I am, however, a tad concerned about the twisted wire at the opposite end of the can. Do you think it would be possible to slide the handle so that the twisted metal wire knots are against the wooden handle? Either way, GREAT job!!!
Maybe, but I did sad the twisted wire down and its yet to hurt me yet, but I kind of did this by the seat of my pants lol so I didnt even think about that. :)
That lid does not stay on too great now that I took the rim off the can, but I am planning on building more stuff like this in the future, and I think I have another can lid that would work perfectly for just that, thanks!
