Bullet Flowers
So what do you guys think? Found these spent bullets that reminded me
of flowers so when I was bored one weekend (too windy to shoot) I got
creative with some solder, wire, and stuff people left behind (or trash
people didn't pick up) at the range.

My late father-in-law was a Detective Sergeant with the Baltimore County Police Department. Every Christmastime, he would take a live .38 cal. round, tie a string around it, and hang it from a twig stuck in a small flower pot on his desk.
He told people it was his "cartridge in a bare tree"... :-)
All kidding aside, if you decide to sell this, please let me know...thanks!

Agree with the others! Very creative! I've seen things like this turn into quite a money making sideline for people! You already have some potential customers here!

What do think is a fair price for these? I have made a couple for my family and have shipping figured out.

"This product contains chemicals that the State of California has found can cause cancer and birth defects."
Can you fit this label on the side?
It really is pretty cool. Looks great to me.

I bet you could sell these. 
Who knows... maybe $20.

You've got a neat design there...I suggest you patent or copyright it ASAP before someone else steals it and calls it his own.
Just a thought...

It's beautiful and would make a great desk ornament.
Very clever and very resourceful.

Depends on how much of your time goes into each one. Also anything you have to buy to put them together. Maybe do a poll, $10, $15, $20, $25, etc, and see what the members here would be willing to pay for one. I'm sure there would be interest beyond this forum too. Lgs's, shows, etc. Good luck on your new venture!
