| I don't know about a shaker, but model builders have been know to | use two slowly rotating dowels with paint bottles nestled in them. | Just turn it on every time you're in the room. Would probably work | for spray cans as well, but a shaker would eliminate the need to | plan ahead :-).
For a while I was using over a dozen cans of shake-before-use spray paint every day. Not only could I not find the shaker I'd seen - but the manufacturer makes that particular paint available /only/ in aerosol cans. It's not so much a matter of planning ahead as not wasting time and energy...

Tue, Aug 9, 2005, 12:40pm (EDT+4) snipped-for-privacy@ameritech.net (Unquestionably=A0Confused) confusedly advises: If you're determined to try this, I would cushion the blade with something (electricians tape?)and maybe use a sawzall as someone else mentioned. Then use a hose clamp or two to fasten the can to the blade.
Cushoning the blade sounds like a good idea, just in case. But, electricians tape? Bah, only the finest duct tape. And I think I might have been the one who brought up a Sawzall. Nope, no hose clamps, take too long, too complicagted. Duct tape all the way.

Tue, Aug 9, 2005, 8:51am From: snipped-for-privacy@devnull.spamcop.net (Pop) has spake: You might have a marketable idea on your hands there! I've had one of thos bed vibrators like they use in motels around for years and never found a use for it: Maybe you've found one for me. Dunno why your idea wouldn't basically work; don't know about rubber bands though. Need something that'll clamp for quicker de/attachment. Unless you're going to patent it, let us know what you end up with
Yeah, right. If I thought this was marketable, or patentable, this would be the last place I'd post anything on it.
I'm wondering how, and why, you got one of those bed vibrators. But, please don't tell me, probably wouldn't want to hear the answer.
I've long since passed on rubber bands as a hold down. I'm into the advanced stuff now - duct tape.

Tue, Aug 9, 2005, 1:16pm (EDT+4) snipped-for-privacy@snet.net (Edwin=A0Pawlowski) puzzingly asks: How about one of those toys for women things? They vibrate and stroke back and forth at the same time. Rather than rubberband it, just get the lucky woman to hold it for a few minutes.
Gee Ed, don't know anything about anything like that. What exactly are they, and how are they used?

You're assuming a lot. That the cat doesn't climb a tree. That the dog doesn't bite the can. That the cat doesn't whip the dog, and remain highly pissed.
Let us know how it all works out.

Might be a good use for old motors that are laying around (from those periodic dryer motor threads, for example). Figure a cam made out of
1/2 or 3/4 plywood with a little cage or tube riding on it would do the job just as well. You could mount the cam to the motor (or pulley attached to the motor) and plunk the can in something like a cardboard tube or PVC pipe that is mounted over the cam, and it'd shake it pretty well, I imagine. To clarify that just a little, the tube would be stationary, and the bottom of the can would ride directly on the cam.Might be able to do it with an old blender, too, if you had a wedge, and then cut it or turned into a circle so it'd fit where the blade used to be. Then you've got a cage ready-made. Plunk the can in it, and start it up. Might ruin the bearings, but I imagine you wouldn't be using the good blender for something like this anyhow, so it's worth a shot.
I don't know about the recip. saw- it'd probably work somewhat, but it seems like one of those things that would end up being a whole lot more trouble than it's worth. I can just see that as a good idea gone terribly awry, especially if you've got a can of paint hooked to a blade with a rubber band...
Personally, I'm fond of the blender idea. Seems like it'd be really simple provided you've got a bandsaw or a lathe (or even a coping saw, for that matter) and it could be done for a quarter or so if you like going to thrift sales. Variable speed, contains the paint should something go awry, and it'd give you a sort of random orbit. They've even got little covers you can use to make sure the can doesn't come flying out.
You need to be an ammunition reloader! Most of us have a vibrating brass polisher used to clean up cases befores reloading them. It's sort of a big bowl with a small motor and off center weight under it - that causes the bowl to shake pretty fast.. Reloaders fill it with crushed walnut shells, ground corn cob and a bunch of other strange substances that polish cartridge cases, throw in the cases and fire it up for an hour or so. Bright, clean brass!
I just throw the spray can in the bowl without removing the polishing media, and run it for a couple of minutes. Shake, rattle and roll! Works great!
Minor problem - on some cans the labels and marking are polished off, so a week later you've got no idea what was in the spray can, but WTH.
Regards.

If you have plenty of warning before you'll need the paint, you can do what I did.
I built a small 5-sided box that holds 4 cans side by side with a small bar across the front to hold them in.
Ran a bolt through the back of the box sticking out about 2 inches.
Took an old barbeque rotissierie motor (6 rpm) and mounted it to the wall.
Inserted bolt into chuck of rotisserie motor, load paint cans and turn on. Come back in 30 minutes. (I just left it running while I prepped the project I was working on.
I also ended up gluing small chunks of wood in between where the cans go to hold them in place better and so I could load less than a full load of 4 cans.
Works pretty well for free.

Can you tell me what some of the other plans I ran acoss are for? They look kinda strange. Some of them are made from leater, so they didn't pertain to woodworking anyway. But, there's plans for some wood stuff too.
