Tall boy can crusher -AKA CHATSKI (tchotch·ke) 1.0 :-)
I drew this up maybe 6 months ago, and burned it a few weeks ago and assembled it yesterday. And, it worked pretty good
Thought that I would share.
I used 16 gauge and 12-gauge cold roll and used 3/16" steel pop rivets at the (6) pivot points.
Also, the washer (12 gauge) is to shim the handle out so that it doesn't crash.
I was planning on using a wood handle, so I added holes to attach screws into the round handle.
I later found some 3/4" tube out in the bone yard and decided to just weld it in place of wood.
So, you may want to delete the handle holes if you want a steel handle.
I needed to grease the slide a bit to get it to glide very smoothly.
Also, the small 16-gauge bed welds to the 16-gauge vertical channel to form a table and bed for the can to lay on which is the only welding needed unless you decide to weld a handle on in place of a wooden handle.
Hope you can use it. Feel free modify and use as you wish.
Edit: Note, the (2) 12-gauge washers will be too big and would need to be shrunk down to 3/4"
They protrude out the back. You could also just slice them off so that they don't stick out.
I forgot to resize them, but it is a super easy fix. Inside hole is a 7/32" for 3/16" rivets.

Re: Tall boy can crusher (AKA CHATSKI 1.0) :-)
Cool Beans. Glade a few of you guys actually like it! I knew it was a "chotcki" when I drew it up, and was happy how well it works, but I had to pre-smash my tall cans by hand before could put them in my chinese made baby can crusher. I have been using mine for several months now and it still works great. And I don't think I have touched my 25-year-old Chinese built jobber since I put the home-grown tall boy smasher in my shop.BmabulanceMan wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2023 6:03 am Awesome design Tin!

Sounds good.
I use mine several times a week even for the regular size cans.
saves a lot of room in the Mrs Alum can recycle bin.
And there is a little satisfaction every time that I pull the handle and crush one!!

Thanks for the design I am going to use it as a starting point of a Powerade bottle crusher. I will post up once I get it working
