HUGE ca bushings…

[Ray-CA]

Just picked up a couple of kits with HUGE tubes (need a 53/64ths bit) and plan on a ca finish. Of course I don't have any ca bushings that big (does anyone?). So, I hit up my hdpe supplier and she found a scrap of 1" rod and gave it to me. Cut it, drilled it and beveled one end. Now I have a pair of giant ca bushings.

I've made large HDPE bushings like that to use on Kaleidoscopes and stuff. The key is having access to some HDPE material without having to buy a bunch of it. - Dave

I have a delrin rod I bought off Amazon to do the same thing. Show us the finished cigar holder when you're done. Should be interesting.

Good ideas for HDPE. I found some that a local mechanical contractor was tossing in the county recycling bin.

considering purchasing the rogue cigar kit and found this post again. Any finished photos or thoughts on the kit?

I've got both of them turned, sanded with two coast of ca applied. Just working on the best way to affix the cigar labels. Once I get them finished, I will be sure to post photos.
