Bar Project - I Need Your Help!!!

[Blu-Benny]

So.....I started looking at my bar project after it sat for over a year due to health issues.

My wife and I started going through all of our bottle caps today to see if we had enough to cover the bar top as well as the counter behind the bar.

It looks like we're close to having enough......but I'm running out of variety.

Was hoping there are some people out there that would be willing to save any bottle caps they get from now until the end of the year and send them to me??

I'd be more than willing to send you some money to cover the shipping costs.

Right now we're getting down to a LOT of duplicates. Most of the caps in the pile you see are from Miller, Bud, and Coors products. So I'm looking for any kind of variety people may have/get.

If you have any questions of any caps I'd be interested in, make a post here and include a picture. I'll get ahold of you and let you know.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!!!

Here are some pix of how many we have currently:

I'm game.

Stuff I drink(regularly)

Dragon's Milk
The Poet(both New Holland)

Sam Adams(not really checked if the caps are different)

Stella Artois
Guinness(even blonde)

Tecate/Sol/Modelo/Victoria/Carte Blanca

In the fridge now(not sure how many caps I currently have from the last two months, my gf keeps some herself...typically no more than 1 ot each) is the Shock Top seasonal featuring the pretzel brew(cap has a pretzel), the current Blue Moon seasonal, beers of Mexico(mostly gone).

Many more.

that would be awesome!!

I've got maybe half a dozen of Guiness and Horny Goat. a couple more Sam Adams. the others you listed I've never heard of to be honest.

what i'll do, i'll check this thread and PM anyone that was willing to keep their caps when I'm ready for them.

i'll take anything people are willing to hold onto and send me.

should've put this out there last night......if you have caps that aren't twist off......if you put a quarter on the cap before using the bottle opener......it'll save the cap. I can't use the cap if they're bent in half.

[schan1269]

If my caps are bent, it is slightly. I three, sometimes four, corner them off. So they have bends, but are still flat. Nailing them(is that how putting them in?) with a glass cover, any minor bends aren't noticeable.

if the sides are bent out a little farther....that's not a big deal.....I can pound them back into shape.

I'm going to glue them down and then put a clear resin over everything.....so no glass.

if you're game to throw them into a padded envelope.....i'll take 'em.

if you think you'll have more by the end of summer......i'll send PM's to anyone that posts in this thread when I'm ready for them.

I'd rather not send 20 paypal payments.

I'm sure I'll have more by the end of summer so I'll hang onto them until you're ready.

Are you exclusively looking for American caps? I'm in the UK you see but my Dad drinks cool-looking different real ales with great-looking caps. I'm more of a cider or rum drinker but some of those have pretty cool caps as well. I'm happy to save some if you like. I think we have some saved already because we collect them in a pot until we eventually get around to recycling them.
