Ashtray

[flumigt]

I made this ashtray. What do you think?

Nice! I have another ashtray coming and was planning on doing the same thing with the top of a champagne cork that holds memories for us.

Real sharp. Howd ya do it?

I made my own ashtray for the balcony and stayed in the Budget. Not as fancy as yours.

Real sharp. Howd ya do it?

I used a u-shaped chisel and made a little bowl. Then i drilled where I wanted the cork, I also used a dremel to make the hole more even. For the pipe "rack" I used a straight chisel to dig out the wood.
For the oil I bought lacquer stain for a shiny look. It really wasn't that complicated, I used things that I had at home.

Great Job.

Very nice. Love the color of that wood.

Very cool!
Im not allowed to have an ashtray outside where I smoke. It just gets filled with bent pipe cleaners and looks horrible......or so I hear.

Love my dog, not practical but it’s pleasing!

That's impressive chisel work! I assume there was a fair bit of sanding as well. That's a great project from stuff already around the house!

 

[warren]

Very well executed. Well done!

I agree with Warren, great concept and great execution as well. My wife would also approve of the ample room for resting cigarillos, an attribute surprisingly lacking in my 2-pipe ceramic Sutliff ashtray (free with qualifying P&C purchase!).

Thats really nice. Well done and a sharp design.

 

[Morbius]

Beautiful job.

What kind of wood?

 

[Pypkė]

Very nice. Way nicer than the 4" PVC pipe end cap that I use.

Nice work!

I made a similar one for myself and dump all my ash and dottle in it. With the lid on, no ashy smell. Sits on my kitchen counter all week and then dump it in the trash on garbage day.

Yup

my 2-pipe ceramic Sutliff ashtray (free with qualifying P&C purchase!).

Really kicking myself for not getting one while I had the chance
