Thanks! ...& I'm cool with you thinking it looks like painted rock.
. As long as I think it looks like metal!

...sent a couple questions to the resident cryocan authority, Rylo, about the last things on my to-do list for this build. Really, I'm mostly trying to figure out an efficient way to trim the bottom of the emptied Barbasol can. Getting the can empty & bottom off were really no problem...trimming it past the indentation at the bottom has me a little stumped though.
Any thoughts from other folks are welcome too...

Have you looked on amazon or bladeplay. Com at their barbasol can safe. It has a false bottom that screws off. They cryorack or the base of the can might need to be modified for this route though... Also not sure how large the can is on the inside. I have one coming in the mail this week!

The one on bladeplay is the new logo. Ain't ideal but might work to get ideas.
100% worthless for a proper cryo rack. The threads are huge. One needs every bit of available space inside the can for a properly sized rack to fit. Most also have a plate at the top of the can.
Sent you a PM.
We made a rig (allowing the cans to be clamped in place without damage) for the lathe and simply machined them off. It can be a little tricky, but makes for a clean cut and proper fit.

So, I'm just about finished.
I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

My husband says he wants one of these every time we watch the movie! I would like to be that wife to get that gift. I've been doing some digging and I came across your thread. In one of the threads you stated that you were going to post the 3D plans once you had them all worked out. Did I miss them or have you not posted the plans or are you not going to post the plans?

I'm away from my hobby o' working on props for a while as I'm dealing with big-time employment issues & such. I haven't released the 3D files for my build & haven't gotten around to cleaning them up to do so. Sorry. I have almost no time to dig into the hobby right now, as I gotta' make sure I keep a roof over my kids' heads & so on...

They don't make the correct can anymore sadly.
