Al Beatty 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2004 Hi Group, My business brings me many empty spindle cases from DVD's and CD's - the ones that hold 50 or 100 discs. My question is what to do with all of them; I hate to throw them out. Maybe some of you have an idea what to do with them; hopefully a fly tying use. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Take care & ...

Al Beatty 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2004 Hi OSD & group, Keep the ideas coming. I like OSD's about using it to hold toilet paper in hunting camp. I don't hunt but a bunch of friends do; hummmm maybe a fun Christmas idea is formulating <G>! Take care & ...
