    Wow. This is cool. I just recently bought a can opener that looks exactly like that. I was debating purchasing another but thought, why would I need two. And Even better was I am looking for ways to open SODA cans just like that. I did not realize this food can opener could also open soda cans.
    I might have to get another one just for projects like this or else my can opener will be going back and forth!
    Thanks for this useful storage idea!

    Just to be completely honest here- this is a place to hide weed. I remember this from 10th grade, and that was back in the 80s.

      It will fall off. You can make it into a twist lock if you want to.
      Use a hot glue gun to glue 2 pieces of a nail (cut really short, glue one on the left and one on the right side of the can)
      Then make 2 f hooks out of cut soda can and glue those 2 f's to the can lid so they lock onto the 2 nails (1 f facing one way, then the other one facing the other)

      As someone mentioned below, there are versions on youtube where people put a jar inside, and secure it in with plaster of paris(and they glue the jar lid to the inside of the can, which seems to me to be a weak bond if you are screwing and unscrewing it). I had trouble finding the right size jar to do that, and come up with this method. Maybe stuff newspaper or something around whetever is in the can?

    • @dslynx
      @dslynx 11 років тому

      It's the safety one like you have. It cuts on the side of the lid and doesn't leave any sharp edges. But, when I ran it around a soda can (about 1.5 inches) the toothed part that grips the can to turn it was gnarling up the can so bad that it would be obvious that the can was tampered with. I'm going to try it again, maybe I was squeezing it to hard or something.

  • @helmoodcole2749
    @helmoodcole2749 10 років тому

    You can do it much easier: Skip the step with the nail to hold the plastic stripe, use some hotglue or better some superglue to hold it in place... but still a nice idea! greez

      maybe hotglue isn´t holding it good but when you use some quality superglue you´re get some nice results. i´ve superglued a lot of things which never been broken, one example was a hook on a wardrobe some years ago and i was able to hang some big winterjackets + 2-3 pullovers at the same time on it, year after year, an its never been broken again - only hold by some drops of superglue...

  • @JDTankgirl
    @JDTankgirl 10 років тому

    All it needs is:
    a.) a piece of tape to keep the nail from clinking
    b.) a few heavy items (nuts, fishing weights, etc.) glued to inside to give it weight
    c.) small vacuum sealed pouches of water to give liquid sound if picked up
    d.) use the bottom of one can, then open another from the bottom so you have a more convincing top

    Why bother with the plastic "lock" to stop the lid from falling off?. Just place the lid on it. If it gets picked up, the lack of weight will give the game away before the lid has a chance to fall off. Lol

      @@DigDigDig I actually did that for one escape room and had a bunch of cans in the garbage (i didn't have time to make a hidden can like above) and it worked great, clue was in only one can of course and they had to figure it out by knowing the clue was vanilla coke, but they didn't know where the cans were till one brilliant one looked in the trash lol
