3inch pipe test plug: amzn.to/2UNIdih
Best premade shaker I've seen online: amzn.to/3lSqSkd
What you need:
1- 10-11" length of ABS 3inch pipe
1- 3inch pipe test plug
1- 3/8-16 nut
1- 3/8" fender washer
TOOLS you need:
any saw(hand powered or electric) that will cut wood will cut ABS pipe
a wrench
tons of spray paint
Thoughts:
1500rpm seams to be about what you should start out with. The rag makes it much smoother at higher rpms. Running 60 seconds for full cans seams to be more than enough. Less than full cans have more room inside for the paint to move around so they mix faster at 30-45seconds. Pulse it on and off a few times and it's ready to spray. Fits all sizes of cans from Rustoleum, Valspar, Krylon and everything in-between.

I used a old long sawsall blade that I hose clamped to the can. Then I used the sawsall to shake the can which is a lot like a paint shaker. My build was essentially free as everything I used was old and wore out.
I built one. Great idea. And get this: It will actually mix natural peanut butter; that half-inch of oil on top before the jar is opened? Mixed in, ready to spread! Thank you!
Thank you so much. I'm a 70+ year old woman who just put together a shaker following your instructions. Works like a charm. My patio furniture thanks you.
That's fantastic!
I made 2 today, went to my garage, had zero 3 inch pvc. So I went to work, which is Lowes for me. I bought 2 feet section. I almost passed out. $17.63 for one section, i was about to scream. But I sucked it up and bought it. I made 2, they are wonderful. Thank you very much
The price of pipe right now is crazy.
@@sixtyfiveford I was shocked
Finally making one of these as the weather warms up. Lot of painting to do.
This is exactly why I sub to your channel. Thinking "out of the box" solutions to common problem/issues and time savers.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
@@sixtyfiveford A-PLUS!
Thanks for the heads up! Hate to think how many semi-full cans of WD40 cans I've thrown out. Despite sticking a straight pin in the nozzle on top, to shakin' the living 'you know what' out of the can, nothing brought the cans back to life. I aim to build me one just like you did. Hats off my man!
Seriously dude? Your amazingness just doesn't end, yet you remain so humble. I am humbled.
Thanks for the kind words.
That's a good idea. I probably never shake the cans enough.
You and me both.
@@sixtyfiveford You guys probably don't shake the cans enough and still end up with better paint jobs than I can muster.
Really like the shaker idea, but it's your helper that definitely gets the thumbs up!
I just made two of these---one for me and one for my dad. Ace Hardware had everything I needed. So cheap and so simple!
Thanks for this idea. I think you had an older video using a tin or aluminum can. I made one out of a can of corn or peas, but then "upgraded" to one of those taller cans of beans. Works great for stirring spray paint! You truthfully are the best crafty DIY channel out there, always producing enjoyable content as well!
I saw this video several years ago, and made one from stuff I already had. Works Great and saves time. Thanks for all your great videos!
That sure will make it easy on arthritis hands for shaking at the paint 👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Simple, cheap, and highly useful! I'm always spray painting the results of small welding projects or fixes.
A dozen tips o' the hat to you!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Great idea thanks, I use a lot of spray can paint and have been trying to think of a way to shake them up. This is much simpler than the things I've tried
I made one of these the way you've shown here, and then I made another using an old empty propane torch cylinder. I pulled the Schrader valve rinsed it several times with soap and water, then cut the end off. I deburred the cut end and dipped it a bit in a rubberized coating. I welded a bolt onto the screw end and pained the whole thing black. It works wonderfully.
I made one too but I attached the piece of pipe to a reciprocating saw blade. Split the pipe down the middle and used a steel hose clamp to hold the spray can in place.
As the blade goes back and forth it really shakes the can, not just spins it.
But your device is good too.
Was looking for a simple paint shaker and I found ur channel...made one works perfect!!!...thx bud👍
Thanks for your video on welding plastic. Couldn’t get part for my mitre saw saw guard. Tried epoxy. Didn’t work. I remembered your video on welding plastic. Worked like a charm. Solid repair. Thanks
I watched your video a couple times and thought it can't work that good. I built one myself it is amazing how well it works.
Awesome! Done and built! You just saved me so much time and frustration.
A 2ft chunk of that 3" pipe is almost $20.00 w/tax at HD now. Along with $6.00 for the test plug and it's almost $30.00. I went the cheap route and made one out of a tin can a 2" bolt and some hardware. basically it's free and it works great. I use a wood shim to hold the spray can in place too.
He gets a lot of stuff at auctions, at the kerb, in lots, etcetera. You're right though, if you were to buy it outright and specifically for this project.
I like your video. I've watched a number of them over the years and always get something out of them. Thanks for sharing, especially the oil/water test. That made it very convincing. Also like your doggy.
Definitely gonna make one of these. Another awesome trick for spray paint is to fill a pitcher with hot water and let the can sit in the hot water for a while before you spray it and it is way smoother, combined with this new shaker 🙌
Not too hot with a full can I've never had one burst but I think it's possible
@@arthurdolle5257 If you make it too hot the propellant will come out without the paint! I've done that before lol
Love this! Glad you shared the tests you did at the end 🤙🏻. I was considering a reciprocating saw shaker attachment, not anymore 🙏🏻
Thank you for this. I have several paint cans as a miniature painter as I need to prime everything. So I'm hoping this will give me everything I need instead of shaking my arm off. Having the parts list is a huge bonus, thank you.
Hey Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Awesome hack!
Was going to invent something today but your video saved me lots of time.
Literally 2 days ago I'm standing shaking a can and wearing my arm out, thinking "There should be a machine for this" - and now here it is! Great work - subscribed.
You're just a lazy fecker... Anyway, shaking the can is good exercise, not only for your arm, but also your heart.
we used to use a pneumatic 1 gal paint can shaker to shake our spray paint cans
@@matthewmax I use the drill mixer attachment for 1 gallon paint cans.
Great idea! With a 1/4-20 bolt, a coupling nut, and some loctite, it will fit in the drill chuck better.
Awesome! Just ordered all the parts needed from Home Depot. Thank you!
Got the parts today and put it together in about 5-10 mins. Easy. Works great especially for orange peel texture. Thank you again!
Awesome.
Awesome idea! I was contemplating making a can shaker but this idea is way simpler than what I was going to do. Thanks again.
I have a few different designs I've mocked up over the years. They all require a fair amount of time to build and take a decent amount of space. This seamed to be the most practical.
Most of the time people in these types of videos produce a product that is just a waste of time and would normally not get used but you sir are a genius. I love to spray paint but sometimes won't just because shaking the can hurts my wrist. I will be building one of these and putting it in my paint cabinet this weekend
I love ur ideas
KISS that's what we need people complicate everything thx keep it up
Man May The Lord Bless U and Ur Family
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Simple, effective, durable, and cheap. Those are the best.
Hey Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
What a great idea! Really simple and inexpensive! Thanks for sharing that with us!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Love that you TEST the device! So many yt vids just post nonsense solutions. You, sir, are a step above!!!
Hey thanks, glad you liked it.
Excellent video. Love it. Amazing stuff and you don’t waste anytime and to the point
I love the simple approach and great ideas you come up with. Great job as always.
Thanks so much!
I am just amazed at the things you come up with to help make our lives easier in the workshop. Thank you for sharing ( Stay Safe you & your family ) .
Thanks Man, I'm glad you liked it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,thank you !
That has saved me from much pain. I was considering buying a professional paint shaker, now I will make one.
Just bought one those plugs and have 3 inch abs sitting around and have big paint projects coming up and paint that has been sitting for years but all new cans so after I clean nossels from your other video I will use this idea and save alot of time. I hope it works like your video shows - it makes sense and I like that demonstation at the end with clear bottle thats what sold me. Thanks keep making out of the box soultion videos - I like the way you think. Simple and effective.
That is going straight on the build list! Love it!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Started to make one of these, but the urge for potato gun overwhelmed me.
LOL, now you got me thinking :-)
🤘🤣🤘
Sounds like a blast haha
I need to make a ball launcher
You my friend are great source of everyday guy stuff. Subbed just because it's the right thing to do.
This idea turned out perfect! Purchased the items from HD and with current prices, came out to under $30 to assemble. Decided to go with a 24" pre-cut PVC, stainless steel set of nuts and washers (Everbilt) per your specs. The screw from the test plug seems to be just right in length to fit in a drill's clutch. Thanks!
Well done, sir! Simple and effective.
First love your dog Ginger she’s really smart and seen her in another video of yours where she goes through the tires and the big tube she definitely has agility like show quality that you should enter her in. I love this idea for spray can paint shaker. Have a Blessed One Sir. Greetings from Silverstreet South Carolina.
Haha, this is great, my grandfather(98 currently) made one back when I was a kid. Never seen one again till today. I use the one he built in the 80s still today
Very cool!
Awesome. I've wanted something like this for awhile now. Jim.
A time saving machine. I love it!!
Great idea. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Your dog is a great helper and I am building one of these today
I made 2 - one for me and one for my son. Greatest thing since sliced bread. Thank you!!!
That's awesome. I've been using it way more than I thought I would.
this is a must for utility locators. i so wish id thought of this when i was locating utilities. i hated having to shake those damn cans all the time.
Just made one as my carpal tunnel hurts shaking cans. Took 5 minutes to make and works great in seconds. Thanks for this one.
Sweet, great job! This alone is worth the price of admission 👍😎🤠🇺🇲
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Great tip, will start searching for the parts.
I bow down to your genius. I'm going to build one to use for my Loctite demos.
Thanks, it works pretty well.
As a former Loctite rep, I approve this message :)
I just recently made this item and it works so well I am so happy with it thank you very much😂
I just use a old Pringles can that I’ve duct taped for reinforcement, then a round head bolt through the bottom. I am sure yours is more robust but I didn’t have to spend extra money or go to the store again haha. It works good and I did enjoy those Pringles 😂
The Pringles in the process makes it worth it.
Nice thank you for videos shown others with your atf fluid trick on paint and other bits they use it on there cars around 6 weeks to make it look new again even a automatic gearbox shop i just started working at has seen how well it works all on you thank you👍
Thanks, I'm glad you like the videos.
Great idea and build, thank you!
I built one some time ago that works with my Sawzall. Now I can make one for my drills too!
Same here.. long blade, electrical tape, variable speed.. just don't overdo it 👀
This is perfect for those brownells epoxy paint, you HAVE to shake them for 20mins!!! No more! I'm making this right now ! Thank you sir!!!
Brilliant how did I miss this. I was sure I had watched all your videos.
I just watched a couple of your videos - including this one - very helpful and practical information, well presented without a bunch of BS just straight to the point. I really like it! Also your dog is awesome!
Hey thanks
I thought that’s why I had kids... oh well, they take too dang long anyway lol...
Great idea, I’ve got a couple lengths of 3” pvc kicking around anyway from a hydroponics project, so now there’s a use for at least a foot of it... thanks for sharing with us, stay healthy, stay safe!
😉✌🏼
Kids.. Yes unless they get distracted are great paint can shakers.
Nicely presented, executed and tested. Great job!
Glad you liked it!
I made a spinner to clean paint rollers using a roller handle and 1/4 inch threaded rod. It wanted to bend the threaded rod. I’m doing yo try your method with smaller pipe plug and pvc. Thanks for the idea!
Love the simplicity. Another important reason for hand shaking the can is impart warmth from your hands into the aerosol and paint or other content. This helps to break up "clumping" of the solids that always sink to the bottom of the can especially after sitting for long periods.
I usually get a pot of water and heat it till boiling point and let it cool for about a minute. Then I throw in all my spray paint cans that im going to use and let it warm up in the water before shaking em up for use.
I keep em in the water and keep the water warm until im finished. Every liquid sprays a lot smoother and better with stronger spray pressure due to the inside pressure of the can being higher from heat. You should try it.
I hate the feeling of gravity in my veins when I shake paint cans so I needed this.
More genius! Keep these videos coming. Thank you!
So simple, and cheap, for a great tool that does not take a lot of room to store. I like it!
Space is a premium around my shop.
@@sixtyfiveford even though my new shop is over twice the size of my old shop, I still am always concerned about spa. FYI... I built my paint shaker today
works :) I just bought the 12" pipe & cap on Amazon, just that easy, comes with a wing nut, removed 3/8"-16 TPI & put on a nut so it fit drill, not sure if that is same in video, saw it a few weeks ago. thx for something I needed to make. I use it everyday.
Thanks for the idea I even used that method to make a couple drum sanders for my drill press
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Simply, I like it! Thanks.
You got my sub with the super paint shaker. sweet man!!
Awesome idea, simple and efficient, I love it. Thanks!
Hey Thanks.
Made one for myself and my son..WORKS GREAT, THANKS.
Great to hear!
Nice tip, Moe! Thanks ! I'll have to make one of these.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
I like this idea I’m painting Rc car bodies and I’m always looking for cheap ideas to help my paint jobs better
Another great tip.
Happy Motoring.
Ginger is so smart loved the video keep them coming
Thanks Mike.
Great simple tool! Been thinking about how to make something like this, could have used it just today! You Always have some great ideas to do things on the cheap, and often with just stuff laying around. Have enjoyed your channel for quite a few years now, and always learn something. Thanks for all your videos, and the great ideas and projects you give your subs! 🙂👍
Thanks a million for the support.
Great idea! Your dog is AWESOME!!
Quick simple vid for a quick simple idea. Well done.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Awesome idea I have spray cans for undercoating models and a few of those say shake for 5 minutes. I'll definitly be making on of these.
Hey Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
I like the ball bearing test rig even better than the shaker. Built it and it works well.
Brilliant as always!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Thats clever! I will steal this idea!
Fantastic idea. Thank you!
Another great idea. Thank you
Wow! Thanks for sharing this with me.
Hey Thanks.
Thx , I love your creativity.
I was on another channel where a guy was shaking the can the 'old fashioned way', and you can imagine the reference that was made by his neighbor. So i began to wonder about a DIY device that would keep ones mind out of the gutter. That's what brought me here. Good job, Sir!!
Thanks. Just another trick to throw into the arsenal. -Moe
Great video Mo!! Super handy and fun too!
Hey thanks!
Woww this IS THE sharpest DUDE in the box for shure. Final point.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
thanks man! exactly the kind of thing that makes me happy i'm sub to your channel!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
The dog sold me!
Great idea! I can see this with 1" CPVC for scale model paints.
That would be cool!
I love this!
I am notorious for having cans that have sat so long that the paint needs more time shaking. This will save my shoulder and elbow!
And I don't have to spend on another machine that will need upkeep and space. It will take up one can's space in my spraypaint cabinet!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
