What Do You Re-Purpose

. . . all my 8oz cans will be used for screws . . . .

Wife and I washed about 35 8oz tins 2 or 3 x in the dishwasher--packed baggies at the holidays with her baked goods (ex.-about 9 sugar cookies in baggies and sent them to relatives (also used the smaller round tins from C&D for roasted coffee bean gifts after running them through the dishwasher a couple of times). I did have to air the tins and lids out in the sun to get them good and dry before refillilng. People said, how nice--where did you get those big gold cans??? LOL

9mm shell casing, 3/8 dowel (with a touch of sanding) makes a nice tamper. I beveled the ends to about 30 degrees for a stirrer or poker... sand, stain, paint, burn to taste! ?

Like the tamper! Thnx for including the info on the dowel--hadn't thought of that!

This jewelry pouch should do nicely as a tobacco pouch, plus it would probably help dry my tobacco out a bit, versus keeping it in the tin.

An old Crockpot is amazing for cleaning up old metal items. Nuts, bolts, screws, door hinges, key lock plates, etc. We live in an old Victorian house, and try to keep things somewhat original, so this triclk is a life saver!
