It's elegant in it's simplicity and just cool.

Another use I just thought of for those who love to fly fish.. Line with a small layer of foam and use it to hold your flies......

I use my old pipe tins to conceal "evidence" of diabolical ingenious crimes in.

A fellow You Tuber uses them to make clocks. As for me I haven't found a use for the couple I have.

That's strange, are they showing up for everyone else? Don't worry about it crk69 it isn't a big deal.

I bought cork knockers with pressure sensitive adhesive on them and made small ashtrays so I've got one wherever is handy, garage and etc.

Some very creative ideas indeed! I like the coaster idea as it is simple and very useful.

Coasters, cat treats, cuff links and dead matches & ash when I'm on the move. Nothing very creative! I use some of my round tins for data storage archives (mini DVD/CDs) and cables but basically just used in their primary function.. as storage! The rest get recycled
