After seeing the USA flag cigar pen, someone asked if I could make a set of Texas Flag cut-outs for the cigar as well. This is a link to the Corel Draw file: http://yoyospin.com/pic8/TexFlag_1.cdr. And here's a picture file:
Dammit Ed, slow down!! I haven't had that many ideas in the last year! If my wife read this forum, she'd have the vet put me down as useless, something she might well be considering anyway. [)]
Seriously, you are an incredible source of ideas. []
BTW, I'm not sure that these picture files will translate properly and give you the correct size cut-outs.
Remember your high school math? Diameter x pi = circumference...you could mic a pair of cigar pen tubes and apply this equation to get the answer , but here's a shortcut:..the flag drawings should measure as follows:
Lower cigar barrel: 2 1/8" x 1 1/4"
Upper cigar barrel: 1 15/16" X 1 1/4"
Cast and turned one round (didn't finish it btw!) Just to see if I could do it! It worked, so now I have to do one that is pen worthy. Thanks Ed!!!!!!!!
Wow, you guys are awesome! This looks like a neat idea, especially since I live in Texas...[] I'll have to add it to my list of things to try. I am like wdcav1952, too many great ideas and my wife will no longer see me, unless she visits the workshop....
I was at a 50th wedding anniversary party tonite. Sold my first baron and some perfume applicators. Took an order for a cigar pen/pencil set and a homebrew PR pink Euro. Had 3 orders for the Texas Flag pens!!!!
Thanks Ed!
