I was bored, i was sick of talking about religion so i realized i have
about 50 empty 12 grams laying around. I always kind of wondered how
thick the metal on one is, so i took one out to the lathe with the
camera. Its EMPTY!!! Dont try anything like this with a full cartridge!!  Its spinning in this shot, you just cant tell because my crappy camera decided blur would look cool.  A little way cut through with a parting tool  Gnarr!!!!!!!!  The end result. If your interested, its a little over 1/16" thick. -------------

You could use a hacksaw on the lathe. Just turn it on and cut. Goes faster :) |
