I loved the video. I also wonder what handloaders would do without Folgers coffee cans?
Folgers coffee cans?
use Maxwell House coffee cans, I reckon.

lol Yes so true. Most things plastic I have no use for but I must admit these plastic cans are much quieter than the old metal ones. Dennis

Now thats the little things in life that make precious memories. Thanks for sharing that Dennis. A man can't help but watch and smile about that one.
About those coffee can's. I did a small survey over on castboolits about how many coffee can's most guys had. My wife was amazed at the results. I'm growing use to the plastic ones, but it hasn't been an easy transition.

plastic coffee cans
My only complaint is that you can't use them to boil water over a campfire.

Ray,are you sure? I don't know for a fact about plastic but I do know about paper. Back many years ago while in boy scouts we boiled water in paper cups all the time, mostly just to show off and prove that it could be done. The paper cup would burn down to the water line and then burn no further and after a bit the water would come to a boil. Dennis
I have done the same in birch bark or used hot stones in

Perhaps I need to burn some of my firewood outside and see if I can put a plastic can to boiling water. If it fails all that would happen is I lose a coffee can. If I try the same in the house and it fails I'm sure my lovely wife would look unfavorable on the pursuit of science whice inspired me.
Yep, when bark burns it smokes but it doesn't stink like

plastic coffee cans and burning plastic stinks 10X worse indoors than out. Don't ask me how I know.
