Red neck' Spray Paint shaker

[smooth72]

I hate to shake up paint cans. So I took an old saws all blade and welded two worm clamps to it. Works great.

neat. by the time you got that can strapped in i'm already done painting and on my second beer.

 

[tonydanzah]

That is awesome, I will be definitly stealing that.

haha that is pretty nifty. Does the can not flop all over the place, though?

I used an old Milwaukee blade very thick and stable. It actually work better than I thought it would, I figure I would have to come back and stiffen it. It is very fast to change cans.

That is a slick idea. I never shake the cans as much as I should(too impatient). I'll being trying that one myself. I even have an old saw that is too worn to sell (auction mistake) so I can have a permanent one at the ready. Thanks for the idea. That may even be marketable.

I have a pnuematic shaker, too lazy to hook it up, so I use my own power for now.

if they make quick release clamps that would be even better

How big of a cat did you use??

I had a friend strap a can to the blades of a old 40's metal blade fan once. It did not end well....

nice, There are a couple different companies that make something similar and other gadgets for a recip saw. But its cool when you just make it with what you have on hand and dont have to spend $$.

Hells yeah it is. I just used a worn out blade, welded a small piece of old drawer slide to the blade. 1 hose clamp is all I had on hand and it works surprisingly well to hold it in place.

I built a saw stand for my recip saw so that I can mix multiple cans in the shop.
I use the Skil model 9205 corded sawsall because it's cheap ( $53. Lowes ) and it has a speed dial. Set it to low, strap the trigger down permanently w/ a velcro watch band, plug it into a switched power strip and you're automated. I have patterns for this that you can have for free. You can email me for one.

yeah i think i have found a new projesct to work on. i don't mix a lot of paint but this looks fun to build just because.

I tried that trick not too long ago, strapped the can to the blade and started out slow, increasing the speed, feeling good about it! All of a sudden KABOOOOM, the bottom of the can let go!!! I had paint all over me, the driveway, the barn, luckily the dogs took off to do what they do!! !!!!

You deserve some type of award for that. Maybe send it in to Popular Mechanics for their 'shop tips' contests
