[QUOTE="DMC, post: 70537, member: 430"] Obviously, you flunked Mathmatics as a kid, because you can get a 14" long tube for $42... Yeah, it is sad. So, let's do some math, OK? 14 inches is going to be 35 and 1/2 CM....or about 355mm Now, we are going to divide 355mm by 12mm (My guess as to your avg. thickness of disk...) 355/12= That is almost 30 disks for only $44. Then, you can remelt the leftovers and do it again, right? This will come out to just penys per disk! Just like I said. Use a 4" steel pipe... Your welcome!
