Beautiful New Lids For Mason Jars Arrived Today

[timelord]

For cutting circles in paper or styrene sheet (for my model railway projects) I use a 'compass cutter'. A simple adjustable plastic device with a pin to centre and a sharp knife blade. Basic plastic ones are a couple of $ in a craft store; I don't doubt there are more sophisticated and expensive models too.

Bassbug - "having the labels mailed, cut on a specialized machine and returned by mail." Huh? What? Who? When did all that happen? All I had to do was make a request and they magically appeared in my mailbox - Sherm Natman

That happens for me all the time with all kinds of stuff...but I haven't yet figured out how to make it happen without a credit card.

Nice one Ash! Did you reinforce the floor?

 

[jpmcwjr]

A freakin' BOYCOTT?? Is someone shitting us?
Love to read that misguided attempt at .....what, retribution? Good Lord.

:rofl: I will post it after dinner since I am off to my favorite Chinese for dinner jpmcwjr. Myself and John got about three of these letters. You would think we were behaving like J P Morgan and exploiting the masses. As they say no good deed goes unpunished!

Boycott? WTF? I'm going to go smoke some Warhorse.

 

[bassbug]

My apologies to sherm...I wish I had access to a friend like that.
To everyone else thinking of doing round labels...my friendly advice still stands.

Brian64 - The key is "friends"; hence, no credit card required, nor accepted. As Grandma Natman always used to say: "A pouch of Perique gets you friends all week." LOL! - Sherm Natman

Not sure why a business owner would negatively engage on social media with customers and potential customers. Protect you IP as you see fit that’s your right, there is no need for public social acceptance of your views. It serves NO positive purpose and COULD be negative. No big company would ever allow one of its executives to engage the way you have. I find the whole chest thumping affair as an amateur move .

Bassbug - No worries mate. And yes, I wish everyone had a good handful of fine tabak and even finer friends - Sherm Natman

 

[dare66]

I've never seen jar that shape before

I tried that once, and it got really complicated compared to the credit card.

I'm no expert on the subject of IP and copyright stuff, but why would someone get a cease and desist letter for copying a product label and sticking it on a jar lid? The product isn't being misrepresented, the creation of tbe label and the posting of its image isn't profiting anyone, and the manufacturer isn't losing anything from it.

I could be wrong, of course. Anything's possible in a litigious society where people tried to sue the NFL because their team lost and it made them feel sad.

 

[shermnatman]

Dare66 - Nor had I seen them before this Christmas. I get them at the local supermarket and they come in a 4-pack. Find them with all the other Ball Jar supplies. Based on the density of a particular tabak, they hold more or less 2 Ounces of your favorite mixture. Only downside is, they do not stack; so you have to keep them flat, or, build a special rack to hold and display them in... but that's another thread, another friend, and another set of pictures for another day - Sherm Natman

I would like to think that's a joke, but these days I can't doubt it...things really have gotten that terminally stupid.

 

[tobaccojoe]

^^^ Alas... He wasn’t joking.

Are yes Mr. Blackadderlxx. I am possession of a copy of your 'boycott letter' and perhaps we should publish it here on the site so that others can form an opinion on your personality and unique approach to property law! In the words of Shakespeare 'Me thinks you complain too much' since it seems the C&D letters rather did the trick. As we have said before if you had asked us nicely we would have happily worked with you!

Dude I have no idea what you're even talking about. Apparently you're assuming that the site was mine? But whatever. More professionalism from your company. You take care now.
