How the hell have I ended up here?

My life has been forever changed after watching this inspirational video. Before I watched it I was a 39 year old man who still lived in his childhood bedroom. But after watching this it gave me the inner strength to pack my stuff and move to the basement. There is so much more room for activities down there. Thanks Potato Slicer Can dude!

Love the hilarious comments!! And the engineering was very cool and appeals to my geeky nature

No doubt the only one of these ever made.

I must really hate my life to be stuck here watching this 😂

I just filed a patent for this idea, appreciate it!

How do I always fall for these videos 😢

Someone said it is a cheap project? Hmmm, $9.95 for long bolt, screws, nuts, and washers, $1.79 can of peaches, $2.25 coke, $5.95 for razor blade cutter, $49.95 heat gun, $75.50 power drill, and a couple of other things. This compared to a spiral slicer at Walmart for less than $20. No, it is not a cheap way to do it!

Clearly the breakthrought humanity has been waiting for. Nothing will ever be the same.

I am going to make these and give them as wedding presents

I never fully realized what an unfulfilled life I had until I spent 16 hours building this and while rotating the last part of the potato sliced off the end of my index finger and thumb. Now I have encountered complete satisfaction of life.

This video gets the Guinness record on the number of expensive, high powered tools needed for a single tin can while not affording a descent can opener 😊

I was standing out on the ledge of a bridge ready to jump when the police negotiator ruled up a large TV and showed me this video. I never realized how much I had to live for

The hard part is getting hold of a can of Russian pineapple chunks and a Kvass bottle.

Awesome...TIP, they have tin can openers now that leave all the edges smooth to the touch, no extra work in smoothing and no cuts!!

Guests at dinner party: "These potatoes are delicious! How did you make them?" Host: "Well, first I got me a complete tool shop and then I..."

Missus would love that lovley looking thing in the kitchen cupboard 😂

There is a much simpler way to do this with a kitchen tool invented by a chef back in the early 50s. A long 'screw-like' center piece with a blade attached to it with a handle that is does exactly the same thing that is simply 'screwed' into the potato. If you cut through on side the finished string of potatoes to the center you also get another presentation of potatoes. I still have one of them and it works great.

I used mine with a string to call my neighbor. 😂

love the can jumping out of the trash back into the hand!

Genius. Next week, a home made motorbike ashtray..

THAT was cool to watch thank you

And here's me thinking it was going to be a starting handle for a Moggy 1000 & it turned out to be a spud slicer .😂😅 Wallace & Gromit would have been proud of you 👏 😊

The money you saved on the ancient can opener, allowed you to buy the drill and the heat gun and at least one bottle of soda and one can of whatever the hell that was. Good job dude.

For the amount of time and materials this took I could drive to Walmart and get one for $2.49.

Performer of ideas, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!

1959 called it wants it's can opener back, still liked this inventive neat video!

Without a doubt, the LONGEST 3 minutes of my life...

Well hell I didn’t know a tin can could jump out of a trash can ether 👍

I do like your tools.

Absolutely ingenious! I love it.

Yeah . Don't know how I've survived for so long without this.😊

Going out to make one now !! I only need a Drill,Table top sander,dremmel,ink pen,drill bits,knife, length of threaded bar,nuts washers,green gloves,screws, OH AND A CAN OF POTATOES !!

Give this guy a decent can opener

excellent litle video great tool making and very tasty looking result I love it

How did we ever live without one of these things?

Love this video. I don't know why but it gave me a feeling of watching Wallace and Gromit working away in a Grand Day Out. Something to do with the way it is filmed and the sound effects I think. 😁 👍

Love it... gotta try it thx for sharing

He has all the tools but the right one for the job

This was fun. Thanks for sharing. Cool idea.

I don't know… I mean… At least if he had made it into a tin can telephone, we could have heard him say something! 🙂

Awesome, wish I had skills like that.. lol

This vidéo is going to change my life forever !

truly, human ingenuity knows no bounds! 👏😅

I was thinking this was going to be some type of bird feeder. I used to have a very simple kitchen gadget that would cut potatoes, zucchini, etc into spirals. It was metal with a screw type thing attached that went into the vegetable and a semi-circular blade with a hole in it that you put your finger then just turn the blade around like a pinwheel (or dialing an old rotary phone) and it cuts the spirals.

Well, that's five minutes of my life I'll never get back?!

Solid video. I don't think I'll ever take the time to make a pototo spiraler, but if I do, now I know how.

It's amazing! I didn't think it was that stupid but I sat through that and actually watched it

Quite a bit of trouble but neat. You know there are hand can openers that break the seal which leaves no sharp edges.

Easier to just buy one!

That is pretty nifty! Tyfs.👍

Belle trouvaille ingénieuse. Bravo.

Pretty nifty ... you have some interesting ideas there Sir ... kept my interest up. ... God Bless

Thank you would have never have thought of this definitely making one

Wow!! Longest 3 mins though lol 😆 but great result!😊

SUPERB! 🎉 This project deserved a subscription to your videos! Done! 😊

No really i didnt mean it that u r boring. No really. U r brilliant. As for the potato spiral, my wife, she wore as her necklace to our anniversary dinner at our local fish n chip shop.

May I suggest you show the finished product first, then one can decide whether they want to put the time in to make it. For me wasting 5 minutes watching your video could have been avoided. Thanks for your attempt .

Chefe du hast eine gute Idee gehabt ! Danke .

Hahaha this one had me guessing all the way to the end LOL Awesome !!

Not bad for someone having a mechanical workshop but impractical for the common homeowner. I would rather pay $10 for the real thing. Thanks for posting anyway.

I like how the guy thought it all out. If it's not a potato spiral tool, he could think of other stuff. Gives me confidence that I can think of stuff like this.

Straight to the comments because you know that some folks are losing their mind over this. 😄 Ill probably never make one of these but its very stimulating to watch the process and the ingenuity. Lighten up people.

Very cool! I love repurposing and thinking out of the box.

Great suggestion. Might I suggest you invest in a more modern can opener? Even a 20th century one would do the job safely and remove the need for the pliers to make the edges safe.

Lovely therapeutic sounds.

I think it was great!!

So clever! Give this man a gold star!!

All you need is a fully equipped machine shop to make a potentially contaminated skewer.

Super cool idea nice way to recycle stuff too.

Nice project. Cooking temp and time?

I'll never get that 5 minutes of my life back

Que grande amigo felisitasion espetacular

Brilliant

It might only take 3minutes but not everyone has all the tools it takes.

3 minutes = 1 afternoon minimum

Very cool!!!

Has applied for 30 different patents. Da Vinci would have been in awe for that one!😂

This is a game changer, I'm going to make these , and give them out as gifts, totally awesome 👌

How come I always get sucked into watching these videos from a mute?

And right now he’s working on a wind-up spring-loaded manual version of this device, for when the world goes completely off grid. All credit to him, this is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard, but building it keeps him off the streets! 🤓

Bravo bravo BRAVISSIMO 😮CIAO

Good 👍

I'd never have believed that I could, just by buying and learning how to use $2000 worth of power tools, and by buying another few hundred dollars worth of all-thread and other materials, I could transform a can and plastic two-liter soda bottle into something that could make spiral-cut potatoes!

Couch potato tunes in. "Hey, I might be able to do this! All I need is an old time can opener! And a snips. And a craft knife. And a pliers. And a marker. And an electric drill. An a mini whatyamightcallit. And a screwdriver. And a file. And a heat gun, and a vice, and a butane burner, and an angle grinder and a workbench, and a workshop sander and a gluegun and a pipe cutter.... and a tube of glue. But I only ever eat takeaway so no cans, damn it!" Nice little video though.

What an ending that was!! I didn't have a clue what you were making. Really great stuff, thank you.

Thanks for not having a music backing , great idea and enjoyable to watch was going to happen !

Thats really awesome

Brilliant !

Some people have way too much time on their hands. I could have peeled and sliced that potato before he finished converting his tin can. But kudos to his imagination.

It's up there with the jet engine and hovercraft.james Dyson would be proud.

Thanks for sharing, great idea

I am tempted to try this neat idea.

This 3 minute idea took 5 min and 41 seconds. ,??????

I have often wondered if I could perform this spiral cut with a paring knife... I'm going to build this slicer when I get my Tax return 👍

I fear that society is going to have to wait another 1000 years before they are ready for this.

I really dont know how i ever made it this far in life with out knowing this. Potatoes will never be the same

Yes. You could have peeled and sliced...but once this has been put together you can use it over and over..and I bet it will work much quicker than your idea ..

Lot of work just to cook a potato.

Love it.
