do it! 
yeah I think I will , I mean 2p's arent very valuable .but creating something cool out of them that will last forever would almost be like art in a way . will probably need a lot of superglue as well but worth it in the end .
I worked out (roughly) that i'd need 300 for buth sticks which is £6 in U.K money .not too expensive for a pair of chux .
anyway when ive made them i'll make a new thread in the D.I.Y section with pictures
