I am so glad I found this channel. I'm a 14 year old girl and I really hope to be an engineer of sorts and I am trying to learn more about machines, and building. I really appreciate these! Keep making great videos (:
If you're fine with a salty old mining engineer who swears a bunch, check out AvE here on CZcams (pro tip, you should). Some other good CZcamsrs are Matthias Wandel who does some cool things with wood, Michael Cthulu who's a metal sculptor who makes long format videos about his process, The Engineer Guy makes videos about the history of things, which is more interesting than it sounds, and the kid who runs ZNA Productions makes interesting weapons and armor with what basically amounts to an angle grinder and a hand drill.
Beyond that, if you want to learn how to build things, build things. You don't need money or fancy tools. Make a crankshaft from popsicle sticks, or a trebuchet from paper clips and and eraser, or whatever you feel like making. Talk to people, get input, and don't be afraid to look like an idiot.
+Luna, hey, it is great that you want to be an engineer. I recently bought a kit 3d printer for $160. it's a prusa clone called an anet a8 from gearbest. putting it together was a bit of an engineering project... but it works great! no need to spend thousands $$ for a 3d printer.
OpenScad is a very interesting and free design software -- you can start playing with it even without having a 3d printer.
just wanting to offer you full encouragement. there are very few women who choose engineering, but zero reason why they shouldn't, it's a heck of a lot of fun!
Luna, great to hear your interested in engineering. My advise is use CZcams to watch and choose your preferred materials. Wood and plastics are easier to get into at your age, metals require beefier tools but if you start by bolting things together you can progress to together machining techniques later. Obviously learn to be safe and use your tools safely, always treat them with respect and think about how you prepare and prevent the bad things from happening. I've learnt a lot from watching my Dad, Mum (he worked metal, she worked wood) other experienced engineers and youtubers. You can hear and see when a tool is working right and it helps learn when your doing it the right way or wrong way. That counts for a car engine and how you drive it, to a grinder or wood lathe.
Personally picking something you want yourself to make instead of buying it is a great way to get started. Every material and skill you learn adds to your engineering possibilities as you go. I've recently got into wood turning, I could add it to my existing electronics and metal working and suddenly I can make new (round) things :) Now I'm looking at HDPE plastics. My world has exploded.
Good luck!
YES, like Timothy said, check out Matthias Wandel. He is awesome.
check quora for engineering questions as well
Please, never stop thinking like that.
A salute to you, Dave.
This is a fantastic set of projects, and the videos are very clear and helpful without being bloated or boring at all. Huge props! Sharing with my local maker space
Congratulations, my friend!
Your videos are the best I've watched on CZcams.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, skills and creativity with everyone.
This is very cool. Great work, Dave!
Many of you says, that this is too expensive and impossible to make. I have been on Sri Lanka and I was very impressed, what they have and can do in their workshops. They have lathes, welding machines, mills. Even plasma CNCs in small, town workshops on the streets.
It is true that cutting metal parts can be expensive, on the other hand by giving yourself a bit of trouble you can make them all yourself with an iron file, an electric drill and a simple grinder. You still have to want to take the trouble.
Finding these videos very inspirational, I work in metal engineering so fully plan to make these at home and start reusing my own plastics. Keep up the good work.
I'm from Vietnam, and I love your works. It's wonderful!!!
Amazing work guys!
Dave, this is a great design, and thanks for sharing it. My only suggestion would be, as the general public doesn´t necessarily have an engineering degree, to mention that the parts can be machined too, not just laser-cut. That seems to disencourage people.
For those conscient people like me who understands how bad is the plastic contamination and how can be even treated as a side business, this video and your website are extremely useful.
In my country, this machine price is 3500$.
Thanks for sharing!
You are awesome, I know next to nothing about how all of this works, but you are an inspiration for me to get off of my butt and do something. It's an amazing time to be alive, so much cool stuff to build so I can help myself and my fellow man! Please keep up your awesome work and I love your sense of humor, reminds me of my Dad.
So good to see solutions to plastic!!! Thank you for this! We are drowning in garbage here in the Philippines!
This series is very inspirational. We can adapt the basic methods to suit our capabilities and resources, like using old carbide-tipped Skilsaw blades for example. You can find materials in a scrapyard - such as old appliances for the sheet metal. Maybe try a gas motor instead of electric. Personally, I would want a shredder with a much higher RPM. Maybe a wood chipper/shredder would do the trick, instead of building from scratch?
Now this is something I wouldn't mind doing. I guess I'll have to start looking to take welding classes.
Did you take welding classes? Have you seen the welding this guy did? You should not take welding classes
Maximiliano Valdés the welding device seems to be automatic/semiautomatic. I was curious how good it is and how does it compare in price with the manual inverter welding machine
Great work, 👍👍👍that’s the best plastic shredder tube I’ve ever seen.
You are so generous for providing all necessary files and the blueprint. Thank you 🙏
I'm just surprised that anyone would not like this video. The concept is fantastic. The fact that you share this info openly is incredible. Haters are everywhere. Well done, guys!
Hi, I have had the shredder plans cut up by Lazer cutter in stainless steel, total cost of $441.00 Aus , I look forward to putting it together, I will be using a pool pump motor and gear it down with motorbike chain and cogs, will keep posting with ideas and video once working!
HEY DOUGLAS IM FROM AUSSIE TOO, DID U END UP PUTTING THE SHREDDER TOGETHER? I'D REALLY LIKE TO FIND OUT HOW YOU WENT :)
CHEERS MATE!
Did you cut parts by this value? Can you dispatch to another country? Brazil? How much? Thank you.
How Rich is hi there, it's been a long journey but have just finished putting this together so it is now spinning in the box, I had to do a lot of hand filing to get the blades to fit the shaft but that was due to the shaft being a little big so lesson learnt, I'm going to do a breakdown of hours, materials and costs to find out whether viable to build for other people or just too expensive as there's a lot involved, but satisfying to see it work, I will try a hand crank and see how hard it is to shred different plastics and am yet to get a motor on it, a metal stand and a hopper are next on the list of things to do, just wish I had more spare time!
José Eduardo Fernandes hi there, the parts are very heavy and would be very expensive to send by air, you need to find an engineering place locally!
Thanks for the answer. I'm checking with companies in the country for the cost of cutting the pieces. Solder I have and I can do and the motor will see if I can get one used.
I ask the question of cost because I see many people wanting to know values. I found in your post the value of $ 441 AUS and did the conversion to the local currency to get an idea. Still waiting for the values but also found a person selling the machine ready. In the near future I hope to inform you that I have completed my machine too. Big hug.
Little safety advice: Make the hopper long enough so you can't reach the blades. Sheet metal isn't the most expensive thing and your hand is definitely worth it.
Also has the added benefit of a higher input buffer.
Great job. Love how you incorporated other things to be reused. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent idea and work Dave, congratulations. Thank you for your great efford.
That free-form large diameter drill operation at 1:55 is super dangerous. Always clamp your work or you'll have a uncontrollable death propeller disemboweling machine at torso height before you know it.
He has the metal screwed to the wood at least. No clamp on the wood however.
Always good to warn of danger. In this case it’s very little danger. In the vertical one the motor would spin just a little then get stopped by the drill press body. In the other one... yeah, it could swing around and give him a tap on the hip. He’d just keep drilling. To make it truly dangerous you’d need a Morse taper drill bit in a gear head drill. There’s nothing to give. Serious danger. In this case you have a small drill bit and it’s going to spin in the chuck. If it holds the belt will slip. If both hold it’ll gently swing around and give a love tap. The weight of that motor along with the moment arm of drill to motor length is extremely large. In conclusion..I don’t think there’s any chance to spin it. I was on the phone with a friend many years ago and his father at the same moment had his arm ripped off by a gear head drill press. Not something to take lightly and as I started... warnings are good
@@MikeGearon A gear head is definitely more dangerous, but since I'm speaking from experience, I can tell you you'll get more than a "love tap" out of an ordinary full size belt driven drill press with a piece of plate steel stuck to a large twist bit. My advice is to form good habits, so you can focus on the job and you're always setup to clamp work at the drill press without spending a lot of time setting up. Like putting PPE on, do it all the time, chances are you'll have it in when it matters.
you should mass produce these parts including the motor, lower costs for the simple man, and ship them to any one who desires to build this machine
What if he doesn't want to do that?
Ive got a manufacturing facility that can do this.
@@Vrael473 Do it, a lot of people are probably interested
@Vemund Kremund I've got my engineers costing it currently. Might build the kits or complete units, early stages but Im very interested. At a minimum building a scaled up version for recycling our own plastics and reusing it.
@@Vrael473 when you get a quote from your engineers,please message me.im looking to buy one
Your videos are awesome, fun, and so very joyful to watch. Great job and thank you!
guys, you're incredible, congratulations.
That's awesome. I am an engineer, and I created the design of a cooperative reciciclagem of a municipal solid waste. A grinder of these would be amazing but you need to be technical in lathing, welder, electrician, and have a workshop in a large area like the one shown in the video. It's not as simple as shown in the opening video. But I have a idea...
+Jaime Teixeira Júnior Yeah I look at this as possible but its not possible. To bad tho!
What's the idea?
Renato Rossi olá Renato. Eu tenho um projeto. Se você quiser falar a respeito, precisamos encontrar um.canal não público.
Idea lets hear it
Design of a cooperative _what_? If you're short on equipment look for a makerspace/hackerspace nearby; they'll have everything needed and the operating knowledge. If one doesn't exist, find like-minded people and start one.
“What ya making there daughter?” “Oh just a custom shredder to recycle plastic”
You have change my day !!! Keep doing this!! Thanks alot!!
I love these types of videos. Making tools from scratch is one of my favorite subjects here on CZcams. That said, it took a bit of skill to be able to drill the center of the output shaft on that reduction motor. And it looks like you did it with hand tools.. Personally, I'd have gone with a belt and pulley or possibly sprocket and chain setup.

Hi, I can't download anything in the download button ... I would like to know where you bought the machine kit and what engine did you use? what recycling? What machine? I wait for your answer thanks from Belgium
That's a really beautiful build.
amazing!!!! my respect bro!!!!!!!!! hermosa iniciativa, saludos desde Colombia!
Very nice machine. I would like to suggest though an emergency quick kill switch.
The k-switch is the cord. Place the cord so that it can be yanked.
You get anything important grabbed by that thing, an emergency switch will just prolong the agony, LOL.
IEC pin and sleeve plugs are not yankable since they have a latching mechanism.

prob in the plans. this was a proof of concept video.
I copied the plans to spec and had it made by an engineering company in Adelaide, South Australia. The time and the cost was outstanding. $440au for 1ph 2.2kw 3.5hp 4pole electric motor. The frame and all the parts and labour came to $2000au. To have this wired up its going to cost me another $300au. Turns out my house doest have a 30amp power supply to run a 15amp motor which when running and you start feeding plastic in it, the amps crack up to 22amps. I don't have a transmission and I think I'm going to need one because it spins way to fast.
Great design but for a simple machine and how simple you have made it look, you really do need abit of spare change to make this thing.
Way to go! This is a fantastic solution to a ever increasing problem.
Great!! Thank you for sharing your work, knowledge must be universal.
"Using materials and tools you can find anywhere"
First step get your custom laser cut metal blades.
¬¬
+David R. T He does provide CAD files ready for the lasercutter and it should be fairly easy to find a firm near you who can cut it. Probably for cheap too.
+Urokoz what about the guy in the middle of Africa?
+Callum Ogden He probably is not the target of this video and he probably doesn't have a big problem with plastic bottles.
If you watch the introduction video he mentions how it's for everyone and specifically someone in the middle of Africa. Currently it's only accessible to just hipsters/hobbyists
+Callum Ogden I see your point, but it is not targeted at the people living in tribes out in the middle of nowhere. In Africa it's most likely targeted at the people living closer to the bigger cities, where there would be firms with lasercutters. That's where problems with plastic is anyways.
if working on a small scale you can use a small food blender.
Have you done that? I'm wondering how long the motor, blades, housing, would last considering the heat issues.
Wow...beautiful vision, outstanding craftsmanship, and super dope video! Subscribed!
Good works, Dave. Very good for Nature. Recycling is very important!!
Hey Where metals buy? 1:11 ''LASER CUTTED PARTS''
I think I can post this in every one of your videos: you are freaaking awesome dud, haha
did you mean dude, or were you being Ironic?
i think he's awesome
***** I was curious, not being Critical, I'm not great with spelling my self.
wish I had access to his shop.
relentlessmadman you can diy one :D
***** I have a fairly impressive wood shop! but metal machining is very expensive and so are the tools
Formidável o destino dado as embalagens reciclável com uma ideia genial de máquinas compactas. Parabéns!
I love how everything falls tf down in the background 4:40 after that "sorry 👉👈"
I love your channel man! keep up the great content!!
Hi Dave,
I love the whole idea behind your project so watched the video on your site home. You claimed that your machines were made form easily obtainable items.
News flash, getting laser/ water jet cut blades and components would not be cheap in the US. That already stops me in my tracks. Can you estimate what it cost you to cut parts and what country it was done in so I can convert to US currency please/
Few of us have access to a fully equipped metal shop and it's obvious that at least a few major tools are needed... My brother is a general contractor who's pretty complete shop lacks a few of these items. A belt sander is easy , a drill press not too hard but some of the other things, bits and blades are not in the typical shop unless you do metal work.
Such prep at the current machine shop cost per hour $$$ is would not be cheap... The actual assemble it looks fairly straight forward till it's time to weld, again same as above, not something most can do.
I LOVE what you have done and the idea behind it but it's looking like a very expensive venture simply to get set to begin the process and this is just the first machine! Can you estimate what it would costs to assemble to whole range of machines please??
Thanks for your great idea, now lets figure out how to make it affordable to more people. Best, Penny
+Penelope Stames - What he is making with water jet cutting and laser cutting can be made in other labour intensive ways or by re-purposing scrapped equipment like paper shredders...
Just a matter of thinking creatively and coming up with work arounds...
Welding is something anyone can do...not so difficult and not we maybe have friends who can and have the gear.
Hese guys are giving us the plans, their work, know how for free it's up to us to get creative and make it work.
+Dane Lavery Come on Dane, you know you're supposed to provide step by step instructions for someone to build a thing using only a rock and some duct tape. Critical thinking and problem solving is for chumps!
Pete...
Oh...sorry...I am so naive for an old chap sometimes...
Think I will have a crack at making this gear using alternatives though not with a rock and duct tape...
A vice...a file and an angle grinder will have to do instead of laser/water jet cutting...and I just have a ropey old arc welder so SMAW will have to do instead of MIG...
This isn't rocket science and I love the low tech approach...such a contrast to the world's largest Mixer Extruder & Pelletizer I inspected at Kobe Steel last year for INEOS. (BTW they did not user laser or water jet cutting either so I think matey is just showing off a wee bit... ;-) )
Thanks for the perspective...
A vice and a file? What are you mad man! How about if we include some ca glue with the tape and the rock, surely that's enough to get it done? :D
As for using a laser cutter, I mean everything is better with lasers Dane, more power!
Pete,
Late to reply...don't use Gmail much...sorry...
CA Glue, Tape and Rock...who do you think I am...MacGyver? Ridiculous hard challenge... but since I am a mad man...a bored mad man on a Sunday night...
On a desert island then with a beach full of unsightly plastic garbage...off we go then...
Make fire
Burn down a tree...easier route than make a stone axe and blisters
Divide into two sections...One long the other short for a lid using same fire tech
Char out core of long piece using fire char technique used by North American Firt Nation Peoples
Take the rock(a large one) and smash it into small pieces
Use the CA glue to fix the jagged rock fragments in the surfaces of the hollowed out log and the the lid
Fill the log with rocks and scrap plastic - Pin the lid on - hold pins in place with duct tape
Now we need a simple device to roll the barrel grinder back and forth
Something like a see saw with a rope tied to each end of the see saw, flung over the bough of a convenient tree...Heave ho....Job done...and you end up with abs that will thrill the ladies...
Robert is your Mum or Dad's Brother.
Now...does a vice a file and an angle grind sound like an easy high tech route to follow... :D
dislikes??? ??? end the world
Francisco Shibata. Of course there are dislikes! Do you have a laser cutter in your workshop? I don't!!!
Francisco Shibata yeah this method isnt a do it yourself type.
1:10. Exactly. I stopped when he opened the box. I don't have that lying around my shop.
Clearly not everyone is watching the whole video. Looks like the real dislikes are because the laser cut parts. He even says to get them made from someone that can do this. Other videos talk about useing the blueprints and having the parts made from other people that have the equipment.
My problem is not the shredder but the lack of a reason to shred my plastic waste myself. Sort your waste and the ones who actually recycle the material can shred it. If you use so much plastic every week that you have problems getting it into the bin then maybe you start drinking your soda in aluminum can and get a $5 can crusher or use your foot.
Thanks for this Genius Awesome Tutorial video, your idea are brilliant,
it was very useful. Salute to you Dave, keep a good work
Oh, the noise of marking that sheet metal is like finger nails on a chalk board. It also reminds be of that awful noise you might hear trying to find food in a frosty freezer, that just sends chills up and down my spine!!
Sorry, I'm unable to see where can I download the plans to build ir
Hola soy Efrain, (no se si este comentario llegara al autor del video,

hola tengo ya rato tratar de conseguir los lanos y no los encuentro :( quiero empesar a fabricar la triturdora
Muchas gracias de verdad, estamos muy felices de encontrar en este canal la respuesta a algo que buscabamos hace mucho tiempo
I'm really ashamed because I didn't know about your wonderful channel, your dissemination of knowledge and how to make useful things is a noble work and something at the top of beauty
The laser cutting part seems quite difficult to accomplish in many countries. If I had to build this thing in Belgium, it would take me way too much time and effort to get the tools to do it or get the stuff laser cut and welded, get around scrapyards etc. The overall cost wouldn't be worth it in the end.
I know ..stupid people . if they dont have laser service or waterjet company near by or cannot pay 4 that ..the CAD files can be export to EPS o vector files and print them in paper or decals and then glue to a piece of metal sheet and cut them with drill and grinder ... Lazy people

Please where is the down load parts list Dave
does someone know where can I buy the shredder box instead of building it?
Nelson Di Salvatore I want to look at an inexpensive electric chipper shredder for leaves and sticks. It it may be usable out of the box or need slight modification. If it works then we have a plastic shredder for about 150 dollars.
Billy Gray did it work?
Jonatan Den Breejen I haven't tried it yet. I haven't had the money. I saw one video where someone used one and it looks like it would work.
Billy Gray they seem to work only if you cut the plastic in branch sizes which is a waste of time
that's what I was afraid of. I was also thinking about a setup kind of like this one but using circular saw blades.
7:27 You can also use a Rotex jaw coupling, especially when you need to take it apart regularly for maintenance.
Hi Dave, It is awesome work. I was just looking for an exact one like this. Thanks a lot for sharing.
You can build one from a paper shredder.
I'm sure you could, I have seen someone on CZcams doing this before, the better the shredder the easier obviously.
I have an idea of making a shredder from nothing but simple large washers, powered by electric drill or a manual crank. so simple in concept.
well, nothing is clear to me. How can i have those metal sheet resources? How can i have those mechanic techniques or machine to make those parts, and your videos kinda short out everything.
Not like those guys who show their impress to your work and then leave these things behind, I am serious about this, so please be more specific to help me out.
+Minh Hiếu Đào He's almost got a full machine shop. You need machine shop classes in welding, and using basic machine tools, like that lathe and drill press. Or you can find someone who has a machine shop and contract with them to fabricate the various parts.
You can use a drill and a milling bit to grind the plastic. You can build a grinder with several circular saw blades and a motor.
bazar.preciousplastic.com/ here you can buy exact parts for the machines :)
MUITO OBRIGADO.
EXCELENTE SÉRIE, PARABÉNS!!!
Thank you ! You're genious and kind to explain how to do this machine !
To work with plastic, first you need to know how to work with metal. You might as well point people to a machine shop 101 set of videos first and where to buy lathes and drill presses and arc welders.
+opl500 its a mig welder not an ark :-)
You made my point. Before you can even think about plastic you need to know the difference between an arc and MIG welder...
+Edgunsuk a MIG welder produces an arc between its electrode and your workpiece. Don't do the talk if you can't do the walk
Edgunsuk but mig is still using an arc so he wasn't wrong :).
tig is still using an ark , its not tig welding either

LOL, I'm sold. Down to the scrapyard and this is my project for the winter.
thank you for making this video!! I'm looking forward to creating my own shredding machine and help recycle plastics in our own local community.
Your doing a lot of work for a task that can be accomplished with a pair of shears and a decent blender. Granted it wont hold up to say, heaving loads, can go through many, many loads of HDPE and PET which is what most people will end up recycling. While interesting, its ultimately beyond the reach of pretty much everyone interested in doing home plastic recycling.
I use a utility knife held in a vise and pull the plastic through with pliers. It takes time, sure, but it works.
Maliciously11
this is for a entrepreneur with limited budget. This shredder can easily be used with a small gasoline engine off grid as well.
Let me stop you there ....watching the videos in order all of a sudden you need a lathe a pillar drill and a linishing machine co make these , best guess (PS im a gunsmith and a blacksmith not to mention a tree surgeon and an engineer) thats around £2500 with fuel and transport assuming you actually have some where to store them + £250 to have the parts cut ? well pointless watching the rest of these videos and pointless sharing this on facebook , no one i know (including myself) is going to invest £10,000 (by the time you make all the machines) to recycle household waste.
+Edgunsuk
Nothing in this life is easy...but I always try to look on the positive side of life...
With ingenuity you can find work-arounds to most problems in life...no one answer to any problem...you sound like a capable bloke...good for you that you can do all those things...I am an Engineering Inspector...I can think of other ways to solve the basic engineering required to build this gear...and getting bits and bobs is a snap down the local scrap yard.
In most communities there will be easy access to all of these tools. Nice to use a laser cutter but with a bit more work you can get good enough results with an angle grinder and a vice and a file.
No need to buy and own at first just negotiate and share...or borrow...
Many hobbyists already have the equipment he mentions in his video...I know lots of folks who would be happy to volunteer their workshops to help a good cause like recycling plastics.
I think there's always a way to do these things if you really want to do these things...
The alternative is just give in and ban plastics to stop pollution...rather than try to fix the problems associated with their use and disposal....
I feel like a lot of work has been put into these presentations, they share their work no charge...if people can do it they will and if they cannot...well they won't.
Here's a link to PPC if you need to get an idea of what they are preaching...I'll go with the folkd looking for answers and solutions anytime...

+Dane Lavery we need more people like you
+Edgunsuk sorry champ, this is not something you will do at your houses kitchen with mentos and a diet coke... and you can still do it without many of those tools if you use your brains a little.
I am an engineer a blacksmith and a gunsmith among other things this is ridiculous the guy is pushing it as a single person idea not as a small business, maybe you have significantly more money than i do but i have lived in houses that would cost less than that full set up ""champ""
