"Smokin" Viper

[Gotvenom 08]

Since I gave the forums a break for a bit,I have been busy with projects.The title of the thread is a bit deceiving but in a sense,the viper will be smoking.(just a different kind of smoke)
My almost latest item is a viper ash tray.I saw a similar item on flea bay that was sold for an ungodly amount of money.I figured I can make one that is bigger and better.So I did.It is made out of aluminum,approx 7 inches in dia,and 1.5 inches thick.
Etched the logo and wording on it,notched the item 4 times for cigars.Polished it,and it was done.I still might anodize it a color or hard coat it to make it more durable.Polished aluminum shows fingerprint smears and just is very difficult to keep clean if you do handle it.
Pen in pic is for reference in size.

And this final pic shows a nice Cuban cigar(thanks Baz)right where it belongs.

Okay now for my LATEST project.Just got back the logo today from the painter.This is a fangs logo with a pocket machined in the back of it to accept a mirror.It is approx 16"x16"x3/8" aluminum plate powder coated black.The pocket in back is approx .200 deep.I have made a few of these logo plaques before,but just did a little some thing different to this one.Pictures don't really do it justice,it is stunning up close.Some times pics just don't capture the effect.The shiny black paint with the reflective backing stands out nicely.
Here are the 2 items before assembly.

Here you can barely make out the pocket,black doesn't show up well.

Then assembled.

If I do make more of these I might have 2 different colors on the plaque.Make the border one color and then the inside fangs another color.Will have to see if that would be possible. Will inquire about that with the painter.But I think that really would set off the color scheme well.
And here the G/f is showcasing the viper mirror.Notice how clean that glass is.

Holy fingernails!!

 

[J&R3xV10]

very cool Timbo! add an ashtray to my order for sure!

 

[Brian GTS]

Not a smoker but count me in on the fangs mirror!!! That is awesome!!! If you haven't already, you need to get a website put together and start selling the things you are creating...very nice.

 

[FastestBusaAround]

I want that ashtray!!! How do we go about getting one?

Its one of those viper club member secrets

 

[paul tat]

PM me details on how to get an ashtray please

 

[FastestBusaAround]

Same here - I really want one or two for my cig's and cigars!

 

[Mopar Boy]

VERY nice MR. Purple Man! What creativity!

Love the mirror idea.

But I do have a bone to pick with you.

Umm, your g/f. She has red nails. That is a problem. IS that a subliminal statement that you are now on the red team?

If she was mine, I would request no other nail colors than yellow with black stripes.

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

How much for a cigar tray??

 

[Gotvenom 08]

Thank You every one for your kind words.

But I only made one of each item.So I have none to sell, as I know I probably disappointed a few here.There is nothing I can do.Licensing issues are the problem.

Mopar Boy nothing yellow is permitted in my house!Especially yellow finger nail paint.No offense but red or purple nails on the g/f looks way better than "your color"

 

[V10SpeedLuvr]

No offense but red or purple nails on the g/f looks way better than "your color"

Red and purple look way better on Vipers as well Awesome work Tim! I do think making Viper ashtrays is politically incorrect though, it may make people start smoking just to use your ashtray

 

[Mopar Boy]

Fine.




Be that way.







If you want to go there then I will point out that you knocked over some cones in the pic in your avatar.





EDIT: Seems Chumpy has a few words as well. My comment to you:

 

[mike & juli]

As always, Tim, you outdo yourself~!! LOVE the 'size' of your FANGS!!!
Great work on the ashtray, no smokers here either, but one could find use for one

Thanks Chad,but I am always politically incorrect.

And Chad was correct in stating that Red and Purple or any other color looks way better than that"other color"

Fine.




Be that way.

For your information there MR.The wind blew the cones over.I never(well maybe almost kinda) hardly ever knock down cones.

Hey hey hey. We dont want to hear about your gas issues!

 

[Gotvenom 08]

Don't recall any one requesting "your thoughts" on the subject matter at hand! Your still sore that my G/F didn't have yellow paint on her nails.The yellow owners,,,,,,,,,,such a group!

 

[Gotvenom 08]

Well you didn't think I would stop with just one ash tray did you? Went to work today and found a little free time to make these.A nice compliment to the large cigar ash tray.I don't smoke except for a very occasional cigar,but if you do smoke cigs what better place to put your ashes right?
These are approx 4 inch dia and 3/4 inch thick.About the size of the ash trays you(used)to steal in Vegas.

Didn't have to request them. They come free and at random.

[fastmd]

Amazing work Tim!
Cheers, Tage

 

[GuitarSteve]

So let me see....I can either feed the Viper ashtray from my various smoking products (cigarettes, cigars etc) or put a drink on the Viper coaster.....Wait, I don't smoke in the house! That ashtray would be perfect for me to put my loose guitar picks in though!

I need one!!!!!

I am hurt!

 

[Gotvenom 08]

I am hurt!

NO I really don't think you are hurt!I am thinking that you want to be part of the exclusive "violet" color group.After all we are in very limited numbers.

And we are a special group!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mopar Boy]

Special all right.

The kind of special help you need is not currently available!
