Jeff, AWESOME job!!! I can't wait to put it together! I guess I just "outed" myself. :p
For all who may be interested, I'll be posting pictures of the whole process - and thanking all involved (including CTProPercussion for letting my "borrow" his idea, and of course Jeff for an awesome job on the finish, and Glenn (FFR428) for reminding me that Jeff is a master with a spray gun when I was going to "try my hand" at it with a spray can Toilet).
Hope you didn't smoke all those cigars.
The completion of this project signifies the end of my cigar smoking days. Fortunately, I had help from some friends in collecting that many cigar bands. I had to buy 3 cigars for their bands in order to complete the project. So, as soon as those - and a few more that were given to me last week by a friend - are gone, I'm done. I probably could have bought a nice vintage kit if I had saved the money I spent on cigars over the last 7 years. More importantly, cancer is too rampant in my family for me to continue. I want to be around to enjoy many more Father's Days with my little girl.
With that, I'll say Happy late Father's Day to all of you! I hope it was a great day for all of you!
