Altoid mint tins

[Karl W4KRL]

Five Below has a lot of empty tins of various dimensions. Many of them have
little latches and carrying handles. Here is my soundcard interface built
into a SpongeBob tin. The eyes are LEDs that light when linked to the rig
and computer.

My niece (KI4YND) consumes Penguin Mints, which are like altoids in
every way (including the tin) except that the sugar has been replaced
with sorbitol and caffeine, at an astounding rate.  Let me know what
you need and I'll see what I can get ya.
