    The Ultimate Cigar Lounge Build Thread

    Decided to carry the Gothic arches throughout the bookcase, Was able to order a wooden frame just like this to my dimensions (outta my wheelhouse to make). I'll do the stained glass myself. This all ties into my Gothic arch entrance too. I made my arches on the bookcase today (fairly simple) and...

    Just a little to keep you up to date... Just about finished building my bookcase then comes stain, finish and finally the lighting before everything is buttoned up with the outside decorative trim. All shelves will be lit. The section above the window is made for something very special and will...

    Six Pack Remote Functional Butterflies

    Air Grabber all buttoned up underneath, the carbon fiber is blinding under the sun, but yells out pretty good under no sunlight too. Still trying to decide whether or not to put the black rubber trim pieces back on?

    Finally getting close to the end. Graphics, pin striping and clear coat complete, the frayed looking holes on the "Air Grabber" snorkle top are where the hood pin buttons go to anchor it down. Just need to reassemble the linear actuator and install the aluminum butterflies, butterflies will be...

    So, the fans came in and looked great, but both were DOA after spending 4 hours assembling and mounting them, it was a disheartening day to say the least. I packed em up and sent em back, spent a little more and now have two great fans. In all my fans I've installed, I've never seen any come...

    I have two 36" "fandelabras" coming in sometime today and with the flickering flaming bulbs will look perfect in my lounge I believe. Of course, all the black metal will get some aging and rust on it first. The wood ceiling center is only around ~48" wide so they'll be the perfect scale for the...

    The first one's a bat, so you'd delete the hare, but he's so cute?

    Thank you, it was a long process. That's just a skipped trowel method for the plaster and the painting is called an "oil rubbed" finish, the complete ceiling was painted about 7-10 times with six different colors in total. I think it really conveys the renaissance feeling I was aiming for. In...

    lol That's just the one I ordered to preview before spending $1,300 on them all at once, they're not cheap. There will be a total of 10 corbels, each being a different animal head. Here are the rest, but I need 10 total so one of these will be deleted.

    Update: Finished my ceiling painting, hard to get perfect shots because the color dramatically shifts depending on the light. Let's just say it's very "moody" with lots of cracks in the plaster, exactly what I was going for. There will be a full length soffit running 28' lengthwise on each side...

    Anyone Got Any Good Hunting Stories?

    Funniest I've heard lately is this the wealthy guy goes on his annual African safari, kills a bull elephant and the entire heard tramples him to death. lol, that's gotta hurt? I really have nothing against hunting, I just thought this was too funny.
