Multi Vitamin (or Whatever) Container

Here is how to make a simple pill container.

I find it's a great way to carry a few multi-vitamins or aspirin while camping.

What You'll Need:

2. Tap and Die
3. Bar Stock

Turn your bar stock to the diameter of your Die, then thread.

Cut the threaded "top" of your container off of your bar stock.

Drill out you bar stock and tap.

Finish the exterior, cut free from remaining bar stock, and you're good to go.

Easy as that.
