Been watching the whole series this weekend and have enjoyed watching the process. Problem solving on the fly is never easy but at least you’ve got the know-how and your shop is well equipped to handle it. Looking forward to seeing this can crushing juggernaut in action. I tried my hand at a custom fabrication project when I made a cartridge case feeder for a reloading press about a decade ago. Getting the timing and tuning dialed in is tough. While it was functional it looked like a bag of smashed assholes…
Watched D’s latest video and had a thought. He was using some industrial shears to cut copper. Those shears looked like they had removable cutter heads. Couldn’t your invention here have some sort of attachment utilizing those cutter heads as a sort of heavy duty automatic pair of scissors? If the cutter handles were shortened maybe, welded to plates and then attached via bolts to the “smashing piston” of the crusher and then to the backplate…you’d get the same shearing action. It’d be dangerous as all hell of course, big ass, sharp chopping deals sticking straight up in the air! A couple videos back you mentioned it was going to be more focused on the cans and copper cable and not the copper tubing and seeing those cutters made me think of it.

Trouble for calling it square tube? Newbs.
I was pulled up by a guy who was a welder. It was a pet hate of his that people called hollow section "square tube"
