I was wondering if there is a good use for old stock camshafts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
They are piling up and I'm cleaning my garage... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) |

I tried them as a paper towel holder, with the gear still attached. The lobes made for a tight fit on the towel tube, so they did not pull off nicely. So it was back to a piece of not nearly as cool 3/4" pipe.
I ended up scrapping mine. Though I do have a used jug that I keep pencils in on my desk. |

Used jugs a very good cup holder when placed on the floor upside down. |
