Cap notes
Cleaning, sorting and showing a bottle cap collection.
Getting rust off a cap without scratching it
A soft brush, gloves and no metal tools.
How I sort nine thousand caps
Egg crates, colour first, then the pattern.
Caps my neighbours saved this month
A bag on the porch, and what was inside.
The caps I keep in my pocket
A handful I carry because I like them.

About
Hello, I’m Wendell
I live in Memphis and I started picking up bottle caps on my evening walks about ten years ago. My neighbours started saving theirs for me, and now I have about nine thousand.
I clean each cap, flatten the bent ones and sort them into egg crates by colour. When a colour fills up, it goes on a pegboard in a spiral.
I write about cleaning, sorting and showing a collection, and I make the sheets and guides I wish I’d had when I started.
