I needed a can crusher and found a set of plans on the web :
http://www.ccthita-swan.org/pdf/can_crusher_own.pdf
I changed the plan a little and came up with this monster, but it works.
When my 'Time Share Kids' come over I will put them to work Crushing, they will love it.
I will not say 'How many Beers it took to build' :-)

Looks like a well made & designed unit,I paid good money for a crusher & gave it away when I found out it was easier & quicker to set the cans on the side walk & stomp on them

You need heavy boots to stomp them. :-)
Or they could be put in a bag and run over with your truck.
My time share kids, Aron and Christ had a ball using it.
