Hey Arnie,
 
You didn't include my Cigarette Snuffer!
 
I cut .60 steel shaft trimmings to 5/8" lengths.  My first ones were epoxied in groups of 3, but I have since found a better way.  I now group them in fives, and band them with a 6" Cable Tie.  Make them tight together, then cut off the excess cable tie.
 
I keep them in all my ashtrays.  When my cigarette burns down, insert in an open top.  It goes out in seconds.

Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Accummulated shafts

If used properly the certainly have "scrap value". Use them for making shaft extensions, lengthening putters to be belly putters, make windchimes for golfers, make "spacers" for various projects, tomatoe stakes, training aids, magic wands, canes for the blind, handles for tools, tools themselves, litter pickers, "sky" hooks for reaching objects without a ladder, archery stabilizers, grip holders when washing unmounted grips, pegs for shaft and grip displays, trivets, bearings, and other applications I have forgotten that I have used. Oh yes, as shafts for putters and wedges that have been broken for the budget minded.

I tried to contact Martha Stewart for her thoughts but she said she was busy planning a move and would get back to me on the subject when settled in her new residence where she plans to have more time to write!
