Refine them to make the skeletal structure of your 2012 European Gala Kiira Korpi sex doll (or Gold Edition).

Perforate the lid and fill them with dessicant beads. You can now recharge the beads by just throwing the tin in the oven. Use them yourself or sell them to /k/ for use in ammo cans and gunsafes.

Honestly I have a few Altoids tins I want to do something with but I have no idea either. I'd like to do something hunting related though.

>> No.1493637

Make a mini mini electric altoid BANJO. Big wooden spork from dollar store, attach strings on spork teeth, raise them with a cylindre (pen). Add mini bat-operrated microphone/amp/speaker/volumeknob pcb inside altoid tin can. Film yourself playing it and touch yourself while watching the result in VR and dolby surround.
It's what I would do, but I'm goodlooking so... I mean... yeah.. do that.

These are popular with radio amateurs (hams) since it is a popular form factor for small receivers or transceivers. See if there is a ham group nearby and tell them you have loads.

1. Use them as containers for small tools or supplies like nails, screws, nuts and bolts etc and label them accordingly.
2. Melt them down and see what you can cast of them. I would imagine they've got a lot of bullshit in the alloy though, probably not worth the effort.
3. Use as an inkwell. I've unironically done this before and it's not bad, the ink dries up at the bottom and you can use a wet brush to blot it like watercolors, but it's ink.
>>1493380
This. Do you think this would work for containers of rice, sugar or whatever else that I'd be keeping for a long time? Not just ammo storage.

Char cloth is some bougie shit. Who the fuck needs a super special kindling like that in a survival situation? LARPers. Or the politically correct term, campers.

Fill with pencil shavings and sell them as tinder boxes.
Legally change your name to Altoid and sell them as custom tinder boxes.
