    After watching this tutorial 3 times I think I have a few questions.

    Will this method work with 16 oz cans?

    Can you do two cans all at the same time?

    Are there any long term hazards in using this method indoors?

    Can I use hardwood boards instead of pine?

    Would it still work if you changed the drill to forward to drill the hole?

    Any advice would be helpful and thank you in advance

    Wait, I'm confused. Do you have to drill the hole in the can before or after you drop the planks? The directions were pretty vague. Also, do you do the same for tin cans, or is there a different process?

    Just saw this vid on crushing a can. Gonna use it next time I crush about 50 lbs. How long do u think it will take to crush 50 lbs. It takes what about 25 cans to make a lb. Da*n. I would lose out on about 2 days work. Still looks like more fun than dumping them in my driveway and running over them

    I was laughing so hard I had tears. He? Started the tutorial with the drill in reverse. You hear a click when he? Pushed the button to go forward and changed it back which made me lose it again. I kept waiting on Jimmy Kimbal to pop out from behind the camera

    Sure will. I'm here to share what I learn. The only problem I have is he didn't say what size drill bit to use.

    Ok, I had to go back and edit my first comment about the woman crushing the can.
    I'll just say "WOW".

    If you will let me come over and use your can crusher, I'll let you keep the cans.
