Hi I'm David from Melbourne Australia and I enjoy DIY projects like auto repairs woodworking and hobby welding, anything I can do myself. I'm currently looking into making a plastic shredder for recycling so would be interested if anyone has any ideas.

Hi David - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Plastic shredder, interesting! Have you found any good examples of ones on the net?

Hi Jon

Found this beauty on the net. Build a Shredder — Precious Plastic

I'm keen to build one but would be interested in alternatives. I am playing around recycling some HDPE plastic. I've managed by cutting into small parts with a band saw which is time consuming. My wife's Thermomix did a great job, but her lack of being impressed has limited it's functional use and buying a second would be a bit expensive.

Very interesting. Once you get the project started, please post in the Tools in Progress subforum so we can keep an eye on it and hopefully give some helpful suggestions: Tools in Progress
