First step after collecting some beer cans was the cut out of both ends of cans. It takes me about 3hr with this equipmnet.

Special cutter for driller: (one of my turner friend made it to me)

Plastic “thing” to protect my hands while drilling ;)

Second step: to make propellers (now I know thats not necessary) to revolve the air more afficiently in the beer-can-tubes

    Nice work,
    The plastic “thing” is an ingenius tool and very professional looking.
    Making the propellors is no fun at all, so its a very good thing they aren`t needed :)

    In my second collector I didnt use propellers ;)

    Maybe its a good news for You and other english speaking friends, we try to upgrade this english version site and do some effort to give more usefull post to us ;)

    I think its great that you have provided an english speaking forum.
    It seems i`m the only one here so far which is good news for me :)

    Having the wealth of practical experience on the hungarian forum may save us from taking too many wrong turns
    I drilled another 70 beer cans today bringing the total to 470 so far.
    Beer cans are great, they are a lot bigger than soda cans (especially 500ml size) so you dont need quite as many and beer tastes much better :)

    I’m here also. This is a fantastic web-site. I too am building my very first can collector. I have built others before and they all work well. But I hope to build a very good version of the beer can collector only I’m using soda cans. I can’t seem to figure out how to post a photo.
