pete Report post Posted January 23, 2007 I had an idea for a flower center. I went to the local gun shop and asked for some spent casings of a 45 caliber, 22 and 30-06 . The are brass and perfectly round so I took them home and now have 3 perfect centers for my flowers. A slight tap and all that is left is to is ring them with my seeder tool and I'm set.

Again....great idea thanks! I KNOW that you had this figured out- but if you whack it a little harder, it makes a really clean cut, whereby you can take your center shader and make a really nice center with or without seeds. Also you can take a modeler and gently round the edges for a domed center. Thanks for noticing my post!! pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted September 22, 2010 I was killing time in line at Starbucks this morning and since I don't get the full forum setting on my Itouch, I had to go line through line...I sure have missed a lot of posts. I am sorry, wish I would have noticed it earlier.....well worth bumping it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted September 23, 2010 Spot setters work well too, and will dome up the center. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Report post Posted September 24, 2010 In a pinch, empty cartridge casings also can double as a hole punch if you are out in the middle of nowhere and need to punch a hole in a strap or belt. Please do not use the loaded ones!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted September 24, 2010 No....use a loaded one, but make sure to post pictures! Even better the newest camper in your group should have the honors!! LoL Just kidding folks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete Report post Posted September 24, 2010 you're right! I used a loaded one and the hole came out REALLY clean! Can't get the powder burns off though.....oh well....kinda looks like antique pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
