But How Many Bands Will It Take?

[Mark Twain]

[Update]

She's done. Lord Help me. All that's left now is to seal it. Any ideas on what product I can use?

Also, here's a contest. :thumbs:

For a nice fiver tell me how many bands/labels/warranty seals it took to cover the damn thing. Contest closes Monday at 11:59 am. Pics below . . . :whistling:

Got a few days off of work. Decided to tackle a little project after reading Souldog's thread about his cigar band table.

I used inserts from empty Habanos boxes I had lying around along with steamed off stickers and warranty seals.

I guess the table is about half finished. I dunno if the 2+ years of saved bands is going to be enough.



I think I've got to get a better center sticker. I'm not really a fan of the Partagas label.

Seems like an awful lot of work just to get high on glue fumes.


Looks good Marc. Keep us updated.

Keep it up Marc, I can hardly see the finished product. Are you going to urethane the top when you're all done..... :thumbs:

 

[Golfanatic]

I think this should be your center image

 

[MadMonk]

I like it! Nice random pattern works for me. Keep us updated, please.

 

[Macion Grey]

I agree with Dan. Random patterns do seem to suit this particular collage.

How about a picture of yourself smoking either w/family, friends, or self? Unless you want to photoshop yourself in w/ Fidel :laugh:
The table should take less time to finish if you change to only lighting petite corona's; I figure you could smoke 5-6 cigars a day in that ring gauge. J/k

Rockin' table, my guess will be about another 400.

Wow. That looks great. I like how you have used the seals as well. It really sets it apart from other cigar band projects I've seen.

 

[souldog]

Nice! Sticky fingers yet? (Let me emphasize that it is from the glue...not anything else. :whistling: )

 

[scthornton]

Looks like you're well on your way.

 

[vortexofhate]

That looks pretty sweet. I've been debating on doing one but out of beer bottle caps.

Check out 1st page. . . :0

 

[tomthirtysix]

Wow... that's beautiful. Great work, Marc.

 

[bfisher88]

Turned out great Marc! I'll guess 211.

 

[stogieman]

Very nice finish product Marc, I'd finish it off with a thick coat (1/8") of Urethane. I'm gonna guess there's a total of 615 bands, labels, custom documents ect........ :thumbs:

 

[vinnyvega]

Wow. looks awesome.

I'd say 364.

 

[Nashkicker]

Very Sweet. I will guess 407

 

[DirtyDave]

Looks nice, I like the mix of stuff you used. I'll say 500. Thanks for the contest.
