taiwanluthiers Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I thought for the larger sizes you just use a case former to make a case with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumbles Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 It's a different way to make canister shells. I've seen Chinese canister shells, they are made this way instead of the traditional rolled case. They also use machine rolled canisters instead of hand rolled cylinder casings.

Hoppy Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Wish I saved all the newspaper that no longer comes to the house, or picked up a ton free when the press died and a few local newspapers went under...look like a great idea and I may have to go hunting around the neighborhood.
