   After drilling a giant hole int he bed of my new truck I decided I   
   wanted to hit the freshly raw aluminum surface with some metal etching   
   primer, and some black paint to match the black sprayed in bed liner and   
   protect the metal.   
      
   All my paint has been on the shelf a long time.  I wasn't able to break   
   the bearing inside the can loose on the lathe, but after I got it moving   
   I was able to chuck the spray can up cross wise in the six jaw chuck by   
   removing two opposed jaws.   
      
   I think taping the can to a long blade in the Super Sawzall is faster,   
   but I can walk away with the lathe on 70 RPM and work on something else   
   for 20 minutes when I chuck it in the lathe.

   As a kid I made a rock tumbler consisting of a small windmill with a wood   
   pulley and string speed reduction to the paint can holder. It did a fairly   
   good job of scaring birds from Dad's garden as well. The blades were crossed   
   sticks with thin plastic or aluminum flashing rectangles nailed on along one   
   edge, so they self-feathered in strong winds.  It lasted about 3 months   
   between repairs.
