Well, I finally got one of these things done that I had been talking about for a while. It's a shadow box with a cigar box in it and cigar bands all around it. LOTS of hot glue! Finding time for this kind of thing has been slim lately, but the rain here lately has given me a little more time to get to some indoor stuff. Outside dimensions are 21"x 17", so this is not the little shadow box. Quite a few bands in there, tried to mix it up. Some are deliberate "mess ups' as a signature.
Let me know what you think.

Joe, I don't even have a smoking room, or a man cave in the new house, not exactly sure what to do with it just yet.

Looks nice Emerson.
Just go ahead and send it to me and I'll hang it in my office~! :biggrin:
That looks awesome!
Looks pretty cool! How did you get the bands so uniform? Did you wrap them around wooden rods or similar?
:cool:
Awesome job!
Cool!

It looks great. I'm a sucker for uniformity and symmetry. I really like the way it turned out because of that.
Oh, and what "mess up"? Got me playing where's waldo and I don't know what waldo looks like!
Nicely done :-0 :biggrin:

Upper left there are 2 PSD 4 bands stacked on top of each other. The psd4 is the cigar I handed out for my son's birth, and he was 2 weeks old when I finished this. Just a signature I guess.

That's very cool! I like the significance of a little family signature.
Cool idea, I've never seen anything like it.
Thanks Carlos.

I like the hell outta that Emerson. What did you mount the bands to, wooden dowels?

Yes, I just painted the dowels black before I stuck the bands to them.

Wow ! Love it. I just started saving bands myself. Have a ways to go but great idea !
E, that is super cool, really like the look
Awesome idea and implementation! Very cool.
Very cool E!! :bigthumbs: :bigthumbs:
First off....awesome job...looks great........and unfortunately for my wife...it is giving me ideas...lol.....I have to admit tho....right away I started looking at each band and was going...yep....yep...yep...ooooh...yeah that one too...yep...yep...hey...never had that....lol
Nice!
.........NICE.........
A year old thread back to life! LOL Yeah, it was a fun build, time consuming, but fun. Been thinking about maybe trying to do one that is all one brand. Maybe a DE one, or something like that, just hard to find enough bands of one brand to fill all those dowels. May have to make it smaller. I think it would be cool to use a cool LP box lid, and just use all LP bands on it. Who knows what I might come up with next.
