DIY a simple Can Crusher

I made this simple tool just for fun, a day that I had not to do something.

Later I decided to add a counterbalancing member of ø8 reinforced steel to the axle,
so to be more stable and stiffer.

Always was thinking that my post (DIY can crusher) is incomplete.
But I hadn't free time.
All of my tools as and my home shop are far away from my home at my summer place.
So last Sunday I made this short video to cover the missing part,
that can be useful to someone that interested to deal with a project like this.

Regards,
Bill
