Heavy Duty Aluminum Can Shredder Build | Recycling Aluminum Pt1

I’m tackling a long-planned project: a shredder and kiln to shred, melt, and mill my own aluminum so I can get started building a logging winch for my tractor. Today, I’m starting with the shredder— I’ll be cutting about 30 custom shredding blades, mounted on steel axles with bearings, and driven by a hydraulic motor hooked to my tractor for serious power.
