Nail Carrier Made of Cans
Four ordinary tin cans, fastened to a wooden block as shown in the illustration, make a serviceable and practical carrier for nails, staples, or similar materials, used in making repairs on the farm or in the shop. The tops of the cans are cut out carefully and the edges smoothed off so as not to injure the hand in removing nails from them. The tops are cut to the shape shown, as attached to the block and provided with a handle, making it convenient to carry the contrivance. If cans are used having covers which may be pried off, the central block should be extended and the handle nailed directly to it.—Dale R. Van Horn, North Loup, Neb.
