Brass Heads into Jewelry
I have had barrels of used brass and primers and my scrap yard has taken my primers as a magnet did not pick up any of them. I have also sold tire clips, brass valve stems the wound up in the tire weights bucket and even sold the slag off the top of my smelter for the metals that it contained.
I think you can make a statement by depriming your worn out brass and on your favorite calibers polishing the heads and cutting the heads off the cases and with the right sized small brass bolt to fit in the primrt pocket you can mount them on a belt, hat, shooting box, rifle stock or a necktie to show what your favorite calibers are. They could even screwed on a table top and varnished over. If fishing boat hatch covers can be varnished with sea shells on them as table tops and other things used on table tops why not the pretty brass heads of your ammo?
Guys would stop to read the calibers on your favorite shooting box, belt or hat.
If anyone has any of this manly art, you are welcome to post it here on this thread.
Have fun guys and live it up as life can be too short.
