Step 1 Get An Altoid Can!

It's as simple as that. Enjoy the Altoids inside and then prepare for the surgery.

In the picture, there is my Altoids can belt buckle with my duct tape belt inside.

it was awesome hard though because i was bored and did it with a pocket knife

[DannytheGreat]

I made mine by cutting "Y" and inverted "Y" shapes and bent them back to prevent cuts   V

Nice!

How do you keep one end from falling out each time you unbuckle the belt?

[technick29]

Um, what do you mean?

[Constructo Man]

I'm talking about the two heads of the belt that click together. How do you keep one head from falling out of the altoids can each time you unbuckle the belt? Also, I tried making an adjustable duct tape belt, and it worked. I just need to take better measurements. (If I try again) I'll post pics if it works.

Sure dude! Hit me up with a plus since you liked it, please.

Ooh! I was going to make a duct tape belt anyway and I already have an empty Altoids tin lying around.

[technick29]

Cool, post pics when you're done!

[jongscx]

Who can name the movie that incorporates a tracking device into an altoids can utility belt? Well, if you took the buckle out of the tin, then you could put a charger into it, but i think having the altoids tin AND a separate buckle would just make it redundant...

[teawrecks]

The movie you're thinking of is called Blankman

[Eddbot]

i see you used gloves when handleing your dremel

[technick29]

*Dramatization* It's kind of hard to take a picture while wearing gloves. Also, I don't take action pics with my camera because it's dangerous (and I'd hate to hurt my lens!) Nice icon, from halo 2 if I'm correct?

[Eddbot]

i wasn't being critical, and yes it's from halo 2, actually Eddbot, is my gamertag

[technick29]

Cool!

[Weissensteinburg]

I could see adding some flashing leds to this...

[technick29]

That I will have to do sometime. Lemme know if you do it yourself, and post some pics! Thanks.

[mikeobtuse]

this took me 5 minutes to make. it probably took longer to eat all the altoids

[Dr. No]

If you put a 5v USB charger in there it would be cooler, if thats possible

[technick29]

It's kind of cramped in there as it is, so I'm not sure it would be possible. Let me know if you end up doing that, it'd be awesome.
