the drawing is good! and I can make out some of the details but not all. The writing is somewhat light on the grocery bag background !

Correct me if I'm wrong:

In the top area you want 12 holes @ 3/4" diameter?
I cannot tell how deep you want these though.

In the bottom area you want 3 holes @ what diameter & depth?
and you want 2 holes @ what diameter & depth?

The tray area you want maybe 2" wide & 1/2" deep

Finally, a clear coat finish (as you suggested) would really make this piece stand out!!

you pretty much got it.

top: 12 holes @ 11/16" or 3/4" diameter. the bottoms of these holes need to be flat so maybe clear through the top board? or at least 3/4" deep.
bottom: 3 holes @ 1-1/2" & 2 holes @ 1-1/4" diameter. bottoms also flat, 3/8" or 1/2" deep. tray 1" or 1-1/2" wide & 1/4" or 3/8" deep.

thanks.

what about compensation? what are you thinking on that?

Honestly, I have no idea. The biggest issue for me will be the 1-1/2 & 1-1/4 diameter holes on the bottom. The top is a breeze. Really, any woodworker any where can build it for you. My kicker is the reclaimed barn wood character aspect to it. I tell you what, let me build & finish it for you. I'll post pictures of it here. Then you can decide what it's worth to you. I'm positive we can workout agreeable terms.

YOU IN - YOU OUT?

the ecig stand made from reclaimed distressed tobacco barn wood is quite a unique kicker.

if the flat bottom on the 1-1/2" & 1-1/4" holes is an issue or not doable with a spade bit then what about a 3-step design with the 2nd middle step being the larger holes and also drilled clean through then set on top of base board that will have the tray at front edge?

also, random thought, but do you make boxes too? that arrangement would make a great lid for a box like a cigar box that could hold all liquids, extra tanks, atomizers, cords, spare batteries, etc. all in one place.

like an altar to nicotine which is fitting because ecigs are my new religion they are going to save my life vs. that burning tobacco crap.

 

[burrocrat]

cross collateralizing at the suggestion of frixxxx. this is where to find what ecigs are for if you are wondering what the hell i want to buy a block of wood thing is all about or else if you want to quit smoking.

Instead of a seperate box. I had given thought to a drawer. I think a drawer for storage under the piece would bomb this sucker out of the park!!

yeah, drawer is better than box, then you don't have to remove stuff from the top when opening. might not need 5 large holes for ecig juice on top if store them underneath in drawer, could get away with 3 or for if dimensions work out better. drawer would need to be 3" min to 4-1/2" max inside clear height dimensions.

keep working on it before you cut and let me what you come up with. simple block of wood is good too.

from the e-cigarette thread.

hey kave, how is the design for my nicotine altar coming along?

Burro,

I went to my local BORG this weekend and bought a piece of inexpensive pine to build a protype. Below is what I put together. Feel free to offer any suggestions/thoughts and /or questions.











I'll attach other photos in a subsequent post

This photo shows the top seperare from the bottom in case you decide you want the workspace seperate from the storage drawer


This is the material I'll build your piece out of

 

[JTH]

That looks utterly awesome!

 

[burrocrat]

dude, you got to be kidding me? you just whipped that up as a sample from cheap pine? hell, i'll buy that one. f***ing incredible!

out of old tobacco barn wood? no contest, hands down a winner. you're an artist, i knew it!

the only suggestion i would make is a low profile drawer pull like a linear brushed nickle handle instead of a wood button. but i am not complaining. outstanding! sold.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. As far as the drawer pull, the one shown is actually a brushed bronze style. It was just a cheap pull to give you an idea. How bout a pull made using an old tobacco stick?

 

[jpcavin]

Owe Dude, I don't vape but that craftsmanship is absolutely superb!!

oh yeah, drawer pull from a tobacco stick. if you can make that, then that's what i want. but there is not anything wrong with what you made already. that is awesome.

you know you could sell those, right. on ebay or paypal or something and make a killing. that is like furniture man.

LOL...too late to correct. But, WOW, just WOW!

 

[nnuut]

That should hold your Nicotine sticks very well. Good job Kave. Forstner bit and router work lookin' good.

Did you know they use propylene glycol in the liquid? PG is an ingredient in anti freeze. Not sure how healthy that is.

Anti-freeze also has water in it. Does that make water bad? Propylene glycol can be found in asthma inhalers. I'm not in favor of vaping...just sayin'
The safety of propylene glycol (PG) when inhaled through an electronic cigarette. Studies on the effect of the inhalation of propylene glycol through a personal vaporizer.

nnuut, Thank you! No forstner bit used I don't have a drill press. I only used plunge router and cleaned out the center of each 1-1/2" & 1-1/4" recess with a 1/4" straight cut router bit.
