I finally found a good use for old CD's.
I have several dozen old AOL CD's that I have kept just because I
figured someday I would find a good use for them. Well today I did find ONE good way to use them. I needed a new filter for my old 5HP Sears Shopvac. When I put it back together I couldn't find the old Filter disc. I am afraid I accidentally left it on the old filter and it was thrown in the trash ( trashday was yesterday). I got out my compass to measure the size of the circle I would need so I could make a new disc on my scroll saw and drill press. I just happened to have a music CD laying on top of the computer and VIOLA the CD was almost exactly the size I needed and the hole in the middle was the right size also. I put an old AOL CD in place and I have been using the shop vac all morning and it works great. Now if I can just find a few other things the old CD's are good for. . . . Dennis |
