Clay would have worked well, too, I just didn't have any 
But I did have a length of brass tube that I had no other use for. I think I probably bought two feet at ace hardware for about 2 bucks, then used about 2-3 inches for whatever project I bought it for, and the rest just laying around. You can probably buy pre-made sacks from a detail manufacturer for not much more, so this method doesn't really save much money unless you happen to have some scrap tube laying around. Or, maybe you just like to scratchbuild :geek:
