Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Hey all. I've got a couple projects in mind for the wife to work on (she's the crafty one in the family) that'll involve quite a few cigar bands. Unfortunately, at the rate I smoke, I'll be 90 before I'll have enough on my own. So I thought I'd see if there were any fellow BOTL/SOTL who have a few they wouldn't mind getting rid of. I'll gladly pay any postage involved. Thanks in advance.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

:emo2004 A little worried now...

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Don't forget to slip a Newsletter in there for him Mike! :r

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Uh oh. The old band trick.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

I think that is a given!!! :D

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

It just seems too easy these days :r :r :r

He will get some bands all right :turn

:po

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

If ya need more, let me know I have some unwanted bands I need to unload.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Mickey, I'll let you know once I see how many Mike & Jason send. I've got two projects in mind, but nothing big like a table or anything. Thanks.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Thanks Jason.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Didn't take long to figure that one out.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Mickey, sent you a message. If you still got the bands, I'll take them too. Gives me more to choose from for the collages. Thanks man.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

For those wondering about the projects, the first one is a collage on a two picture photo mat. My grandpa was one of my biggest cigar influences from growing up, but there's very few pics of him smoking. However, while going through some of my moms old photo albums recently, I found a pic of him and a buddy enjoying a smoke while he was stationed in Japan. I'm going to have the wife scan it and crop him out and do a frame with him and the cigar on one side and me with a cigar on the other with the collage mat around us. The other project is just a standard band collage. I may put a focal point in the middle if I can find something interesting or that fits.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Just dropped it at the post office :tu

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Jason, just wanted to let you know I got your package today. Awesome selection of bands, but there seems to be a problem. 5 of the bands somehow seem to have glued themselves around some cigars! In all seriousness man, thank you. I'm overwhelmed at your generosity. Pics to come tomorrow.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

That's odd :lr

hopefully mine show today

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Mike. Yeah, you both sent on the same day, so I'm expecting the mailman to wander by with yours probably sometime today.

Now for Jason's explosive hit on me.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

:r

Oh, how the newbies never learn.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

and once again...i only had a few bands but i have plenty of sticks still with bands on them so.... :r :r :r

enjoy brother :tu

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

And great, just when I finally get my mailbox fixed from Jason's explosive attack, Mike decides to blow it up again! Must be something about the western part of the US, the bands keep affixing themselves to cigars in transit! In seriousness though, thank you Mike. I'm just overcome by your and Jason's generosity. Will posts pics later when I'm off work.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Enjoy Derek, and good luck with the project, but seeing the other guys who responded to your call for help, I am sure this is not over :sl

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

I have a ton of bands. Give me your address and I will send you plenty to complete project mentioned above!

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Well done, Jason; make him "work" for his bands. :)

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Theodore, pm enroute.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Mike, I hope it's over. My poor little tupperdore is waving the white flag. :<

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Knowing these guys, it probably is not over! :D

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

As promised, pics of the devastation of Mike's bombing raid. Don't have pics of the baggie of bands, as the wife has already started dipping into them to work on the first project.

L to R: Montecristo Tubo, A. Fuente Grand Reserve, Oliva Serie O, Nub Cameroon, and a 601 Green Oscuro (feel free to correct me if I've labeled any of these wrong, still learning). Once again, thanks.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

nice Mike :tu

enjoy Derek

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

Looks like the wife has got started on my frame project. Got these pics sent to me today at work.

I'm sure she'll have it totally covered by the time I get home. Then just gotta seal it and scan the pics. (For those wondering, the cheapie Pirate's Gold was from my stash of bands!)

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

looking good so far brother :tu

The finished matte and framed. Now just got to get the pics printed out and put in it. The Romeo y Julieta band is from the first real cigar I ever smoked.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

looks like a winner :tu

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

That's great! I showed it to my wife and she wants to steal the idea (she frames as a hobby).

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/...psbada7830.jpg

Finally got the pics scanned and printed, so here's the finished product. I'll probably replace the pic of me if I can ever get a better one of me enjoying a smoke.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

looks great Derek

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

It would be cool if you had a posed shot similar to your father's pose done in black and white. We did something similar with a photo we found of my dad when he was 4 or 5 comparing him to my nephew. The family resemblance was striking when looked at side by side.

And, the black and white photos with the bright bands might set it off.

Cool project.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

That's a great idea! I may do just that.

Theo. Got your package in the mail today. Holy crap that's a lot of bands! Gonna have to get the wife started on the collage soon. Thank you man, I really appreciate it. Can't wait to see all the different types in the bag.

Re: Anyone willing to part with some bands?
 

that is a really good idea and the finished product looks great!
