Lee Nub - Wigan Chapter

here we go, let me know what you think.

[Lee Nub]

Lmao, forum name please bud. Screen res erm....1680 x 1050

[El Catador]

Would you want your forum name / real name on it to?

Save yourself the trouble - I heard he's had it changed to 'Lee Nub' by deed poll!

That's the trouble with these 'obsessive compulsives', they never know when to stop.
Mark-my-words, It'll be the surgery next - 'Nub' by name . . . etc.

P.S. You can call me 'Torpedo'!

[davidruddell]

So, I'm working on variants on this, Lee..wanna be a guniea pig?

What's your screen res on the monitor you need a desktop for?

Would you want your forum name / real name on it to?

[davidruddell]

And the reason you shouldn't post at 3 in the morning is.......

loads of tiny hairline flaws in the logo reversal, not visible in positive, sorry chaps.

New improved, lower calorie vers attached.

Think the Xikar cutter might work better in positive, with all the other elements in positive? If so just scream/PM/mail.

Today I will be mostly pottering around the house, smoking stogies, drinking coffee and faffing around with a couple of non profit designs including this one.

Liking the Laser work!

Can you do tattoos with that

Now on episode 6 of series 2 of SOA, and with 3 eps of series 5 poor old Dexter all q'ed up and ignored.

DAMN YOU LEE!

[davidruddell]

Man alive, nice work!

Thanks for the offer for splitting the spoils, maybe I can do a super duper customised (I want to work on an 'antiqued' effect version tommorow.) Rich Girling version for all your efforts?

Here's an inverted version, but I could do a partially (by component. i.e just the skull/lighter etc) inverted version, or anything you like.

Feel free to mail me direct with any requests/ideas , my emails davidruddell@gmail.com

Bop the cost to BOTL would be P&P and perhaps a little smoke for me (and David) to sweeten the deal!
I would be able to add your UK cigar forums name onto the design if David did not mind and I have a suitable font.
David is the graphic designer though I'm just a workshop grunt who prints out his superb design.

Rich, I have found a wood turning supplier, who can supply turning blanks in all sorts of timbers. He has some 7inch by 4 inch oak blanks. Could something like that be lathe turned into a nub shape? Then possibly have the nub band etched onto it?

Sorry for all the questions, I will make sure you are sorted in the cigar department

[El Catador]

I am loving this thread!

great stuff here!

Me too!
Great work with the laser Rich - I think you're going to find a lot of takers for a spot of custom etching.

[richgirling]

Lee cost still the same obviously you would have to supply the materials (wood) but just P&P, might need a couple of cigars each for David and I for a project this big!

Poo the lase has settings for metals but I have never tried etching on to stainless steel before. I would be happy to try for you though.

[PoohBore]

Could you laser it onto a cigar stand ? I think they are stainless steel.

[Lee Nub]

Man guys, if something like that were possible I would be over the moon. Let me know costs, wether it be cigars, alcohol, cash, my wife , whatever

[richgirling]

Lee the laser cutter does have a rotary fixture which allows you to etch on to cylinders.
The laser is not very good at doing very detailed pictures but if the band had a very bold black and white image on it it might work.
PM me or better still David (if he does not mind) with some design ideas.
If the laser did not work I would have to put it on the router which also has a rotary attachment (4th axis) on it and machine the design in that way with a 1mm dia ball nose cutter.
