My home made aluminum can crusher

This is my home made aluminum can crusher attachment for 37 ton Forest King log splitter

I initially made the box out of wood just as a kind of proto-type and plan to make a welded steel box later.

I will be getting rid of this temporary hopper and fashioning a better one later also.

During the first operations the cans were packing so tight into the box the removal of the compacted cans were difficult so I removed a board to drive them out with a sledge hammer and 2 x 4. Will be changing this feature later also.

This is not a real serious effort here, just me playing around with a way to crush a lot the cans I get on my garbage routes. I'm in the garbage business.
