  You know those lever action can crushers?. Well I’ve been looking for months, I can’t find one anywhere. Where can I buy one?.

  Have you tried hardware/houseware shops? I would imagine they would have something like that or may be able to get one in.
  
  Sometimes markets and garage sales are great for picking up those sorts of things – I’ll keep my eye out for one.

  Cool. Good Luck. I’ve been checking the papers now and then still no joy. I’ll pay at least cost + 20% to anyone who can find me one, even store bought.

  I reckon they would be relatively easy to make – I might get the tools out on the weekend and see what I come up with.

  solution pending Graybags.
  
  I am building a 3/4 scale replica of a russian army tank in my shed. It should weigh in at about 25 ton. Enough to crush cans, 44 gallon drums, cars, houses..

  No problem, when it is finshed, I will have a ‘running in’ party at my property.
  
  Graybags, it is hand controlled skid steer, so you should be able to have a drive or a least a go at the 76mm cannona and 50 cal machine gun. Bring your cans by all accounts, even a volvo if you have one spare……
  
  Tamstar… bring your desert goggles and get ready for some serious machinery….

  Woot! I finally got a can crusher! A friend bought me one through ebay, brand new $29. Now I just need to mount it somewhere solid and it’s cha-ching, money in the coffers, drink up boy’s.
