Making a Shredder for my Letterbox (No more junk mail)

Garbage is a pleasure, even in the age of the Internet, we still receive garbage through the

mail

box. Now, Fuzz has a plan, of course, we've seen people positioned like paper

shredder

s behind

mail

boxes. You put a letter, fruit and it crushes it, but it doesn't go away. get rid of the old lemons the big fat catalog no we need something with power we're

making

crushing machines you've probably seen it before people throw cars and all sorts of things it's basically like a load of gears and cogs meshing together each other and just chew it all up to pieces we're going to make a smaller version and put it here no matter what happens it just chews it up to pieces yeah I bought this 240 volt we take it out of its frame instead of this war thing it's there where we have all the cogs and gears and stuff, put this next to our mailbox, put some kind of switch so it turns on and then when the mailman comes with this garbage, he will frown and it will be smashed to pieces.

Okay, let's break this up. We have a nice hex shaft we can put it on that should hopefully come in handy. Next, we need to figure out how we are going to place all of our crushing teeth. You know we're going to have to do it. Get it ready, how everything is going to be set up and then Collin, you should start building. Oh yes, now I've wanted to do one of these for a long time, but of course, it's the

making

of this that has stopped me, but now. I have the old fast Kerr. I can do it well.

Slide this over here. Another bit on the other side to hold it. I have some big old gears to take it down. We have a little

more

power and we can run. a little slower, but I think I'd rather have power than speed right now, which will then go to my crushing bar, for that we have a little bit of a hexagon, our cutting blades slide over the hexagon so they can't slide now, so there are three different ones of these because the little hexagons in the middle have been offset 20 degrees, so when you put them on you can see down here, look the teeth are not aligned with each other, they go in like a spiral. now this will all swing around in the casing all the way around the outside so pin all of that in place and screw it to a base and then hopefully we'll have two nice solid cut pieces that will go through the mailbox booyah now there's a bunch of question marks about this, will it have enough power?

Will all this be strong enough. Will I motivate enough? Will he start cutting himself by tying the doors? Doug, I don't think you should do this with a hammer. I have never cut a key before this is all new. Oh, look, it's over, you've raised the bar here, sir. blurry I notice there are two pieces of aluminum screwed together, but they are square and the old ones line up, that's good. I thought after you hit it with a hammer you're going to break that column, yeah, oh, just key brush. I'll be broaching a key where with my Raja foot it drips very well that's it so first this is working pretty well it's still nice and tight there isn't much cycling the whole thing doesn't have bearings but it seems to work well next Jovi will know that the T feet are a unfavorable That's a lot of plasma code, so now we'll put them all on our machine.

These little blank spaces to go at the end. Oh, it's lovely. Well, these little bad boys come in. Okay, that's how it is. I'm going to Cut. like a time lapse see speed up a little now because it's going to take a while now it works look both round dilemma mini do everything nice and tight which of course is good you know everything is nice and tight but then it's not loose and if I'm all closed and the subs hanging around, it's not tight, I know, sure, let's pick it up, let's get a letter. I have a piece of paper.

Oh dear, what a challenge for this, well, you've done a fantastic job, but the fact. An engine stuck on a piece of paper is not a good sign. I have it. What are these six pieces? Is it going to work? It is cut. Well, look, wait a minute. Colin, you have something wrong. piece of paper No, so I basically took it a little bit and realized that now you couldn't even turn the gears by hand and I'm going to get my bearings on this thing, but before I put all these plates on, it moved pretty freely, so I'm thinking I have something that's getting stuck here, so I took it all and cleaned it all on a floor a little bit away from this side and that made a big difference because now I move everything by hand pretty freely. all together again, it's gotten a little better, it's done by a team now, but it's still not good enough, no, so I'll remove this 300 watt motor and replace it with this at least 1300 watt motor, but I won't stay only. one in I thought, well, now I have to make an adjustment.

Could I, since I'm doing the mother of all adjustments, let's have two engines. Yes, I'm going to get an upper and lower one so that one motor does this and that one. that one doubles the power next video i will have done all that will hit it in the back of the mailbox let's see what happens yeah subscribe.
