Doing the Dew, Old School Style
Russ - Posted on Sunday, March 26th 2006
Here are some images of all of the crushed cans that we have, and how to crush and drill the holes in the cans.
First you start off with an empty Mountain Dew can (Or beverage of your choice). You will want to clean it out with water and wipe if off probably, or else you will end up with sticky drill bits and soda might leak out if there is any in.
Next you will want to lay it down flat with the big logo on the bottom.
Now you fold one end towards the middle
Then fold the other end in towards the middle
Then take a hammer, and flatten the can as much as possible without making it look really bad. Below is a good thickness for the can
Now you will want to drill four holes in the can. Two on the top and two on the bottom. Make sure wheen drilling the ho9les, that they are not too close to each other, and that there is enough thick metal between the holes so they don't come together.
Now you will be putting the cans together in strips using baling wire. You thread the baling wire through the front of the two cans, and twist it together on the back. Eventually you will have boxes lining the back so that all of the baling wire does not dig into your skin. You will want to make it so that the top of one can is below the bottom of the next can. These strips are usually only about five long. You can adjust as needed.
After you have all of these strips done, they will be put together to form the Mountain Dew Armor. Pictures of that when we have ours started.
