i did read on guy on here that he throws them in a fire, recovers the metal and sells it for scrap! dont know how true that is or legal for that matter.

yeah there was something i read on boards last night about that being illegal with rifle rounds as to reloading etc. .and of brass being 4 squids a kilo. .average brass cap weighs,im guessing.under 10 grams?

Yes....the chair is unusual.

I'd say it took a lot of time & patience to do it.



Some simplier ideas to begin with.........


ZIP PULLER




USB HOLDER








CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS






JEWELLERY






KNIFE HANDLE




DISPLAY
