So, /k/, i was thinking. You know those hippie curtains made from beads, seashells, etc... Why not make one out of spent casings? you would probably only need a few hundred shells, and you could even make designs with different calibers.... Anyone seen anything like that?

>>8775383 That sounds cool; I like the idea and haven't heard of that before, but brass is heavy. Also relatively more expensive than beads and shells. Brass would also be much harder and more tedious to work with. Imagine drilling out the spent primers on that many rounds... etc and finding a cord material that could withstand that weight and years worth of being pulled on and caught on things, etc. and then a mounting system to the door frame. I'm not sure a simple eye hook screwed into the trim at the top of the door frame would be able to hold up a string of empty .30-06 or .308 brass for example.

>>8775398 You can buy fresh brass without primers. Not quite as fun, but it's an option.
I made a necklace for my lady out of a spent 5.56 and 550 cord. But then, that was with crappy old Canadian surplus that had an issue with the primers popping out after firing.

plus I think older spent rounds would look better.

you can buy 500 peices of unprimed brass for less than a hundred bucks and save even more than that if you want to do it yourself. you could string it on 550 cord and hold each in place with a knot. I'd suggest you use shotgun hulls instead though, you'd need less of them and they'd be a lot lighter. They also come in a ton of colors so if you wanted to get fancy you could probably make a design out of them that would look pretty decent. Fun idea.

the other way yo do it would be to use a steel plate on the top of your door frame with small holes drilled at intervals and stainless braided rope hanging down to support the brass. they make crimps for it that are generally made to construct a loop at the end of a rope but if you sized them correctly you could use them to keep each piece of brass from sliding down. this would be moderately heavy but the steel plate should hold the weight if it's secured properly. I still kind of prefer the shotgun hulls Idea, if only because I wouldn't want tarnished brass rubbing off on my clothes all the time.

>>8775450 oh good idea! not too expensive either, comparatively. I think that might actually be faster, after you got into a rhythm, rather than trying to hand knot paracord at the same metered intervals.

it's funny, I'm an artfag who was in the military and I see artfags using guns all the time in peices thinking it's "ironic" or something but as a gun guy I still find appealing. Just goes to show, you can be talented and still be an idiot.
