Tim McCoy Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Haven't seen a copper ashtray for 20 years . . . well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Nice work Tom. It's been a long time since I saw an ashtray with that style cig holder. Isn't copper fun to do repousse and chasing with? I learned with Altoid tins, they're deep draw steel and almost as malleable as copper. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macbruce Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Nice work! I love the motif, although ....''A woman is only a woman but a good cigar is a smoke''!.......I think Kipling had a few brandies along with his Havana when he wrote that....... ;) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I wonder what you do differently when you make ash trays for non smokers? (some one had to ask) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I wonder what you do differently when you make ash trays for non smokers? (some one had to ask) Are they not usually bigger, with a handle that can be attached, and fit under a log/coal burning stove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
