Okay, you canadians, in grade eight you probably did this project.You have to make a can crusher! :( I need help! My father does NOT have a saw, nor any other high tech tools. He is a manager not a carpenter, so basically...I'm on my own.I need help on how to make one. I am only 14 and I am not going to pay 40 dollars for materials.I really need help, PLEASE
And now for something completely different. You need only a length (about 15 feet) of wide plastic drainpipe and a brick. You upend the drainpipe and, from a first floor window, drop the can into the top of the drainpipe, followed by the brick. You read it here first.
Hi..not Canadian, but hope this helps. :) As far as not having a saw..if you purchase the wood at a home improvement store or a lumber yard, sometimes they will cut the wood to specifications. Things You’ll Need: 2 x 4 inch board Strap hinge kit Jar lids Two 1-inch screws Screen door handle Step 1 Cut the 2 x 4 board into two pieces that are 16 inches long. Step 2 Attach the hinge to the ends of the two boards with the screws included in the hinge kit. You want to two boards to fold inward until they are stacked flat on top of each other. Step 3 Use the two 1-inch screws attach the two jar lids to the inside ends of the 2 x 4 on the opposite end of the hinge. The jars should be directly on top each other when the two 2 x 4s are folded on top of each other. Make sure that the two jar tops that are slightly larger in size than the average can. Step 4 Attach the door handle to the board that is going to form the top of the can crusher. Attach it at the end opposite of the hinge, above the jar lid. Step 5 Place a can in the jar lid of the bottom board of the can crusher. Using the door handle, bring the top board down on top of the can. The two jar lids will keep the can in place as you use the door handle and force to crush the can flat.
