[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Shotgun Shell Neckerchief Slide

Posted: 12/9/2014 2:17:06 PM EDT

I am making about 40 of these for my cub scout pack as little Christmas gifts.

I have to melt or cut a hole in the back of each one to slider their neckerchief through.

Thinking the best way to do this is with a wood burner - any other ideas?

Could cause some interest if worn in school

Cut a square hole in the back of the shell with a razor blade. Big enough for both ends of the neckerchief

This, if the place where your den meets is a school, be careful.

When I was a kid, we were not even allowed to keep a fired hull when earning our skeet merit badge.

Yeah, every kid gets a speech about how they are not acceptable for school

Uni-Bit Stepped drill bit works nice for that sort of thing, especially thin metal, they don't 'grab'. (I know, you are dealing with plastic.)
Scarf will cover the hole.
