  • I'm trying to figure out the point of this... Is it some internet DIY competition? There are already commercial balers on the market that do this way quicker and are more practical, so I can only assume that this is something you do just to kill time?

  • @girochin007 Practical? I guess your right if you consider blowing 20 grand (probably more) on a commercial baler for personal use. I built this to set outside my basement door, then every couple weeks crush the full hopper until I get a bale, Aluminum recycling prices can vary from 25 cents lb. to 95 cents lb. here in Utah (no I'm not L.D.S.). Why save the environment for a quarter? The fastest well...that was more of a joke, search youtube for worlds fastest can crusher, you'll see what I mean

  • Clean your shop up.

  • @MrLeonard55 I tell you what... If and that's a big IF you build anything you need tools to do it like I said I just finished it, and have you know at the end of the day I still parked my full size extended cab truck and my wife's Honda car in there with my 4x8 cnc plasma cutter, 3 welders, oxy acetylene torch drill press, mag drill, 5000 lbs of misc steel, street bike, fourwheeleer, 80 gallon compressor, 60 gallon compressor, hoist winch, 2 co2 tanks, 3 argon tanks, engine hoist, no more charac

  • @plasmaman2507 I work with many tools every day. For over 30 something years.

  • @MrLeonard55 let's see your shop!, now days since your old enough, you should know steel is like gold, you don't throw it out until you can't do anymore with it, where's your uploads? ooh.... right you don't have any. PERIOD.

  • i'm impressed, i really wanted to see the end product though

  • as can crushers go, its not exactly the most practical or convenient

    but you gotta admire the sheer brute force of it :)

    Woulda been nice if you could have shown the chamber being emptied tho

  • my email is football22qb@gmail.com

  • how much will it cost for this unit or for you to build me one?

  • I'm disappointed I waited through the whole video to see the end product (the bail). and you never showed it.

  • I would like to get one for the non-profit The Can Lady Project. Please respond how I might get one.
