I was wondering if there is a good use for old stock camshafts?

They are piling up and I'm cleaning my garage...

Scrap metal or make something cool out of them. Another option is to have them reground, u can have them cut whatever grind u want.

Wind chimes?

I tried them as a paper towel holder, with the gear still attached. The lobes made for a tight fit on the towel tube, so they did not pull off nicely. So it was back to a piece of not nearly as cool 3/4" pipe.

I ended up scrapping mine. Though I do have a used jug that I keep pencils in on my desk.

I hung a couple in my laundry room to hang clothes on from the dryer. I have one in my shop bathroom for the extra toilet paper rolls. Angela said no in the house bathroom. Go figure?
