What to do with empty co2

[com177]

Hello Sol I think that is a great idea giving the cash to charity from the empty co2 capsules.

I know this will not make a difference to the vast quantity of empty bulbs, but I have just converted one into a mini BB store, a bit more pocket-able than the 500 size bottles they come in.
All I did was drill out the pierced end to about 5mm, cleared out the swarf and found a suitable cap in my magic box-of-bits. I did a weight for full vs empty and reckon there is about 170 BB's in there.
I might increase the hole size a bit, they seem to 'log-jam' occasionally and need a quick shake, but otherwise I am well pleased with my ten minutes effort in the shed. My next prototype will be for pellets, but gut feel is there will be a lot more jamming...

Happy tinkering.

My daughter makes Jewellery necklaces by fitting fishing float rubbers to the neck of the capsule and then attaching them to loom bands. My son seals them up with pva and uses them as floats for his lego boats/ships.
