Haha - that's my kind of solution. FWIW - I've found that glass drilling bits available at the big box store do a pretty good job of making holes in hardened metal.

Thank you for your reply
I just wonted to make a fun video

I want to build a shaker to carbonate water, at the moment I shake the 2 litre bottles by hand.

if i was going to do this for real
i would add a spring to the end of the blade (it was a little hard on the elbow)
i would also add large flat baring like on a bar stool or a lazy Susan
thank you for your reply

You need some threaded rod a cross bar and some wing nuts to hold that can down. That way you can nix that clamp and mount the can further back away from your saw. Would make a much more finished machine.

thank you

the next time I do this i will screw a large soup can onto the plywood and put the paint can into it
