You know, those hand operated bizzos that crush beer or soda cans into discs. Anyone know where I can get one? A model made from non ferrous material (not titanium) would be a bonus. ------------- Random musings on all sorts of things http://obaldnz.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - http://obaldnz.blogspot.com/

Put it on the ground. Stand atop of it in a finely balanced position. Reach down and gently tap each side of the can. Now be careful not to catch your fingers. It will crush down in a spectacular fashion. Job done. Not only can I tutor you to cook but I can help you with this conundrum. ..........You're welcome ------------- Dont let the grey hair fool you! |

Sounds like a neat party trick and if endorsed with a 'Biggear Certified On Line Course' sticker I am sure it will work as well as a piece of roast beef. However...... I am looking for an item for bulk use, on a platform that precludes 'a finely balanced position', is sea water resistant and can be used offshore in early April with low probability for Moggy Star loss in the event of a malfunction. If you get my drift.

These might work, the first one would certainly get a moggy star However I can see this second one being the more likely event on tagit in the wet!  I guess both will do the job and keep the crew fit! ------------- People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it! FISH FIGHT The Peoples Protest |

I thought the idea was to smack them on your forehead. Possibly need a mullet haircut to make it work properly. ------------- Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water. |

Run your thumb down the side diagonally 4 or5 times around the sidem to lightly crease the can, grab each end and twist. Can concertina's and ends up pretty flat |

Bench vise works well if you have the model with a lever you depress and can then slam it shut. ------------- If you think you are too small to make a difference,try sleeping with a mosquito in your tent. |
