Column A, with its 11.75" width, is a bit wide for my tastes, TYVM. ;)

I might have forgotten to mention this but:
4) Adjust column width to suit.

No, I quoted it with my reply, didn't I? ;)


I'm curious about the whipped cream can. What are your thoughts on
it? Are you saving a source of nitrous oxide for someone, or?!?

Nah silly. Use your imagination!

1) Rivet fins on, sand, prime and paint; it's a Rocket Ship.

DANGER, Will Robinson! Can is pressurized!

2) Snip it; it's a source of thin shields for the UHF section of
your down - converter project, or as laminate for that custom transformer
you always wanted to build.
3) Install RC receiver, batteries, motor; drive your cat crazy!
4) Cut out the front and back. Replace the front with a translucent plastic
copy of the original product artwork, add LEDs; make suggestive yet
tasteful (g) lighting sconces for your boudoir.
5) Modify and slide it into a decapitated 16 oz H2O2 bottle; add lenses and
make a spyglass.
6) Snip off the top and grind the raw metal back to the seam. Sand, prime
and seal to make a nifty brush cup.
7) Cut a square in the side near the bottom to accommodate a Peltier cell and
heat sinks to keep your 500 mL water bottle chilly.
8) Snip off the top and bottom of two cans and TIG them end - to - end.

Yeah, that's extremely good TIG practice.


Invert one bottom and TIG it back on to the body of the can to make a
spherical reflector. Amaze your friends with the gain of your new cantenna.

Creamy goodness for your WiFi connection? Hmm...
Izzat anything like a Pringles Yagi?


Hey, you asked for my thoughts.
This is the best I can do until they show up.

Wull, that 'splains that. Carry on! (Carrion?)
