Description
I built a wooden can strainer from scratch to see if this unusual kitchen tool could actually work. The idea is simple: clamp it onto an open can, tip it over the sink, and drain the liquid without needing a separate colander or strainer.
In this video I walk through the full build process, from laying out the design and cutting the parts to shaping, sanding, assembly, finishing, and finally testing it on several different-sized cans.
