How to cut soda cans

[@MasterHoyt1]

Excellent technique. Thank you for the safe and easy technique!

[@alanneil4974]

Thanks for uploading this tutorial. Really nice clean cuts. I've learned a lot from watching how you cut your cans. I've watched other people's methods and yours I believe is not only the safest, method, but produces the cleanest cuts, without damaging the can. I'm now using your method to cut my cans. Keep up the good work.

Good video! Thank you. FYI; if you gently sandpaper (1200 up grain) the cylinder after cutting the top and bottom off, you'll get flat and even sides.

I clicked on your video cause I build Alcohol Stove's out of soda cans. My problem is cutting them in half cleanly to have 2 cylinder's. You cutting technique will probably help. Thanks for your video! 😎👍

You can iron the tin sheet for about 3 minuut on high... Linnen by most Irons... I do your method on a table and then iron it until its flat. (This way its takes less then 3 minuut) 😊. I like the way you cut the can but i use the ring on top of the can. So i thake a pocket knife and score the can. Than i take a old credit card and slowly push around the score. So at the end you have your flat sheet and the bottom piece to make something with and from the top one i can easily cut the ring that i use... 😊 Thank you so much for your video 😊🎉

These are great tips, Nathan! One other thing about using soda cans for model railroading, ho scale in particular, is that they would be great for making things like grain bins and silos! They already have that nice cyndrilical shape to them and I would imagine it wouldn't be to hard to make tops for them. Just an Idea though.

Good tutorial Nathan!

[@DruSteel69]

Cool Nathan. Nice demo.

[@audreyramsey982]

I would use the edge of a table instead of stairs cuz I don’t have stairs. Also use a heavy book to lay it on so it flattens better

[@nathandelay]

Good point

[@bethelgues3918]

Nice, i think I like this. For me I use a pocket knife to score the can and literally peel away the middle from the top and bottom. It usually leaves minimal damage even on the edges, ( picture like I cut a paper with paper cutter). Sometimes it will peel away from my score lines but that can easily be corrected buy peeling in the opposite direction or with another knife punch.

This is why you are so great! It is a great feedback and also an awesome tutorial. Have a wonderful day 😍👍

[@tjprptchable]

Very good tips nathan know I have a suggestion you should youse a heavy big book to flatten it out even better.

[@nathandelay]

Good idea

That's reminds the movie twister there making wings for Dorothy's sensors with using pop cans for the wings to get in the core of tornado. Nice video if you see the movie twister

My wire cutters are too small. I have to find some like yours.

[@sandrajohnson2489]

You should have advised viewers to wear gloves when flattening the metal.

[@jimtedesco]

That explains how you work the metal, now show us the assembly process.

[@HumancityJunction]

How many cans typically g into a model?

[@nathandelay]

Maybe six or eight Heath depends how big it is or how small

[@sparky107107]

still wish you use the gloves i sent you, you will never get cut
