We`ve all got them,the base with the clear plastic covers. 50 or 100 cdr spindles. Anyone found a use for them in the workshop other than holding nails or screws in the covers. A stonger platic bottle modified would work better for screws.
Empty cdr spindles,any workshop use?

Glue 9 of them into a square and make a Tic-Tac-Toe board for the grandkiddies ! Paint dead CDs red one side black on the other. Great, just gave away my 'make millions' idea. Oh well..... have fun.. Jay

I tried, ended up tossing them. I like the mayo jars for storage better.

They hold abrasive disks for a side grinder pretty well.

Got a bandsaw and a fine blade, with a kerf the same width as a CD thickness ?
Clamp an inch or so of CD's together tightly (the CD-R store is useful for this) and then saw 8 radial slots into the edge. Do a few hundred, throw away the cracked ones, and you've made a slot together construction toy.
Especially pretty with 15 seconds microwave time to craze the optical surface of a CD-R wthout melting it.
