Homeade 4 Cigar Ashtray to adorn Sir Walter Raleigh can

[Incognito_T]

Hey guys thought this would be appropriate to show off a little something i whipped together for my first thread!
Have to say i am very excited to become a larger part of the BOTL community!

After seeing alot of different homeade cigar rests i decided i wanted to put something together that was solid, could hold plenty of ash and wanted somewhere to sturdily rest my cigars.

I liked the idea of the Xikar ash can but didn't like the lack of cigar rests.

Anyways decided to fool around with some scrap metal in the garage and it turned out pretty good!
I plan on making some edits to my next one including thicker top metal to keep from warping as this did, but for a prototype i think it worked out well!

Here's my new Top Hat cigar rest/ashtray as i'm calling it!

I'd love to see some other homeade trays & rests if anybody wants to post theirs up!

Rustic and cool looking. I got no skillz, so no homemade anything.

 

[MrHappy]

Nice!

I am in the same boat as RacFocus, so skills either, but I did pick up some cool looking ashtrays at the antique place.

Thanks!
Hopefully version 2 will allow me to show a little better use of skills but love how solid this baby is.
No cigar teetering off the edge for me!

Nice bead bro. I don't have a welder in my garage, let alone Stainless supplies. Looks pretty good man. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see your next one.

Ill probably paint the next one but I love a raw metal look so I grinded the whole thing and hit it with a gloss clear coat to keep the finish from going down over time

Nice work love the look of the raw metal looks rustic.

Man those are some awesome skills!!! I only wish I could weld lol. I tried a stick (stig? Idk what it's called) welder once and was terrible. Like just terrible lol. I'm always trying to figure out how to make cigar accessories out of wood but I end up getting half way through and get distracted

Thanks man! It's much easier than you think I've learned simply by messing around and watching others do never had any real training. Now wood work that's impressive! Too much patience for me I like metal work which is pretty much fire and force.
Check out this awesome ashtray out of a short story box top a customer actually JUST made for me

That.... Is awesome. I wonder what they use for a protective coat over the box?

He varnished the wood after routing it and there is a piece of glass laid in the bottom along with gel corners on the bottom to protect the under coat. Pretty cool. Here's a couple more he left to sell at my shop

Man!! I definitely have to borrow that idea for the box top ashtrays!! I have a ton of glass that I can't use for screen printing anymore, I just have to find some nice and interesting old boxes at the local b&ms. I might actually add some little blocks inside of the edges at the notches so it is like a smal cigar rest. Cheers!!
