Step 4Fitting the can around your can

fitting the can around your can
this involved a little customization. i am a tall guy, so i needed to make sure the diameter was large enough to fit inside. i picked a diameter that fit around my with lots of clearance. then i cut a piece from the second can to fit the necessary increase in diameter.

use the drill and your rivets. drill correct size holes through overlapping pieces of can and then rivet them together. cover the rivets with duct tape so kids and or drunks dont cut themselves.

i used the additional pieces from the second can to extend the 'skirt' of the can down lower, cause the can isnt all that tall.

i didnt grab too many pictures of this, but check out this one. you can see the seam across the middle of the can? that is where the first can ended and i extended the skirt.
