Can Opener 2.0

**thehomeengineer** · Mar 15, 2018, 02:35 AM

I think my company would like one of these we also have to puncture the cans before recycling or we have to take them home for recycling and place in our household waste, I will make one to save the mess at work. I think once I have made one there will be requests from all buildings on site.
Glass is also another issue for recycling at work as people can cut themselves lol. Again easier to take home and recycle via household waste (madness)
Thank you for sharing

Hi Texf1
As they say better safe than sorry. Just need to find some material suitable to make one of your can openers. Will post when finished.
Hope you haven't placed a copy right on it

Hello The Home Engineer,
No copy right on anything I make. I think all of us here are for helping each other out. If I come up with something, which I may not be the first, I don't care who uses it if it will help them out. Would love to see what you come up with. I didn't get fancy on mine.

Fancy? yours is painted looks like an ammo box (very nice). Mine will be painted from the inside out lol

I didn't figure I needed to paint the inside. Once I start punching the cans, it will paint the inside for me.

Good idea! I save the contents of spray penetrant and other lubricants, decanting into proper oil cans. (I also save the ball bearing)

No one else is likely to touch your decanted "stuff" so it is a win/win.
I knew a girl who worked for a nurseryman who would decant unused portions of class 6 & class 7 poisons into coke bottles, replace a cap and store in the same fridge that staff kept their lunches & drinks. This was done until, one staff member died slowly over a 3 week period. He wasn't even gaoled(jailed) as it was an accident. When she told me, he refused to buy staff appropriate overalls & other PPE; I told her to leave immediately & complain to authorities. She needed the job-"not that much to risk your life every day" I exclaimed: & it was the lowest paid trade of all to boot.
I'm going to make some shavings. Cheers

Shot with a .22short (though now impossible to find). I've achieved some marvelous decreasing arc spirals of paint, shave cream. It's a lot of fun

I would rather shoot it, but I live in the city and the gun ranges don't have a place for these kind of targets.

the standard 22 shorts are hard to find but there are still the CBcaps available shorter than a short completely subsonic
