Didn't exactly make this..

[NewLondon88]

But .. this is 'other things we make'

This was an idea for the Bash fundraiser, but we weren't sure if anyone
would want them.. especially me, since I was so surprised at the material.
These would hold up SO much better in the dishwasher than my current
Dixie Cups.. and lasering them works better, too. (especially since your
drink doesn't spill out through the lettering)

Wow, I love em'

Cool!!! I guess his name is on them so that he is reminded of it as he gets progressively wrecked. :biggrin: Is that what is known as a Tooth Glass?:biggrin:

 

[wood-of-1kind]

So with Cav's name on the glass.

Is the glass 'half empty' OR 'half full"? Bring on the 'punch' line(s)

 

[skiprat]

Charlie, is it just the light reflection or is there a letter 'n' missing from that front glass??

I thought the same thing. I kept seeing missing letters as I was watching
the little laser beam go back and forth.

*(yes, I have a sign that says "Do Not Stare At Laser Beam With Remaining Eye")

But when I checked, the letters were there. I have no idea why it doesn't
show in the photo.. or even as you're watching it. And then you can see
it again.
But now I'm paranoid.. I have to go unpack the box.

I'm not totally sure because I'm not a huge gun buff but I think the William Cavanaugh is a rifle produced in the late 1800's. It is most commonly referred to as the "Cavanaugh 1891" and was a single shot .22 caliber weapon which is probably why you don't hear much about them as their fame came nowhere near the Winchester 1886, which of course fired a slightly larger bullet.

Engraver was sampling :biggrin:

Nice looking glasses though even with the drunk engraver

A cheap Irish whiskey?:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

But seriously, those are some really nice glasses.

I want to see pictures of the dixie cups with names lasered on them...

I knew I shouldn't have been off forum today! :biggrin: As many of you know the IAP is blocked on my government computer so they can get a little bit of work out of me!

Dang, this thread alone needs several answers:

Obviously you don't know much about Voodoo! Give me a day or two to find a 8 and a half fingered doll and some pins and I'll give you a Who Dat!! :biggrin:

I don't actually know but a few Leprechauns in person. The fact that they are all taller than I am pisses me off!

Nope, as soon as I buy these from Charlie, I will be sipping fire water in style!!! :drink::highfive::beer:

Now that is a good thought. I can finally stop writing my name in soap on my bathroom (loo to Skippy!) mirror as a reminder! Nah, I have a special cup I keep my teeth in. :giggle:

George, you got it partly right. It is a small bore single shot, but it only shoots blanks! :devil::foot-in-mouth::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Cav, the "prizes" for the 6th Bash are good, but your "wit" is what keeps me coming here.

 

[johncrane]

Yep Cav's got wit!
Charlie will the glasses be big enough to get a four finger measures/shot.:drink:arty: Cav might want five:biggrin:

John .. you can fit your fist in the glasses. Two, if you're not very good at
using a table saw.

I had to go back and open up the package again. Skip just had to make me
lose sleep.. but all the letters are there.
But the glass seems to have some unusual optical properties.. you can
stare at the lettering straight on, but when you turn it a little bit to the
side, some get lighter or go away.

I think this is because I haven't washed them after lasering. When the
glass is lasered, it causes microscopic fractures in the material. Much of
the material is still right where it was.. on the glass. I need to hand wash
them before I send them out.. maybe twice. The test piece that said
Wilyum Cavanaw was washed twice, and all the letters look fine.. but as
I was watching the beam during the process, I thought it was skipping
some of the letters. It wasn't, but they didn't show up at all angles until
it was washed a couple of times to remove any glass residue.

If anyone gets lasered glass, hand wash gently! Those tiny particles are
sharp. Do not put the glass in your pants.

 

[johncrane]

That's good Charlie thanks!

 

[wdcav1952]

Uh, Charlie, you aren't sending the Wilyum Cavanaw one are you? On second thought, spelling like that will remind me of Ken (bitshird) every time I use it!

Remind me your PayPal addy and the total and I will have money headed your way.

Peter, thanks for the kind words about my "wit" There are those here who think of my wit that less might be more appropriate!

 

[NewLondon88]

Uh, Charlie, you aren't sending the Wilyum Cavanaw one are you?

What .. you think *I* want them?

What would people think if I served them in glasses that said
Wilyum Cavanaw? I'd look pretty stupid now, wouldn't I?

I mean .. That's not even my name.
Sheesh. Think, Wilyum. think.
