i saw em at the ren-fest but didnt get a chance to check em out up close

[Ronthered]

pretty nice . just make some

[poops4president]

just make some... ur saying that to the dude who couldnt drill a round hole in his MLT for crying out loud!

[Ronthered]

ha, ok. I guess not then. would be a conversation piece tho.

[MrMarbleHead]

I am with ron on this, I got all the shit in my garage to make em.

How much are they selling them for? I am sure that we can make them cheaper and send them to you.

[Ó Flannagáin]

That's some real nice woodwork

[poops4president]

yeah like...
"why are you drinking from a a log that is leaking all over the floor?"
"its a mug"
"no thats a stump with half the center chopped out by what looks like a spoon"
"so..."

[poops4president]

36-60 bucks seems like the prices... but how much is food grade epoxy and stuff? if you can make em in ur spare time and sell the to beer buffs not LARPists i think you could make some money at a fair price

[poops4president]

i guess 30 bucks isnt to bad now that i think about it tho

[MrMarbleHead]

Fuck dude $45 bucks for a 24oz mug! Funk that noise, I bet i could make them for a round $10 in materials. I understand a guys got to make a profit but fuck man, they are probably cranking them out by the dozens and costing them like 5 bucks to make. If I could find a good source for rough cut hard woods they would be even cheaper.

Whats a LARPist?

[Ronthered]

well we'll make you some and cut the price for you

Live Action Role Playing

the types that dress up to go to the ren-fests or comic cons etc etc they'll pay anything for crap like that.

if you could get a 16oz to 20 and get a couple bucks profit that would be awsome... and i would be much more happy with a mug that looked like a tree then overlaped slats... or a barrel. just wood grain and some knots that would be awsome

[MrMarbleHead]

Let me see what i can find for materials, I think it may be easier to make the ones with rings in it, rather than the second link you posted. the second one was done on a lathe and i don't as of yet have one, but it may be a good excuse to go and buy one.

By a show of hands who would be interested in one, If i get a rough number of how many i can get a better idea for how much wood i would need.

I got to go to the hardware store tonight and i will look at wood prices, i know that they have gone up I will see how much though.

[Barley-Davidson]

poops, you're my favorite elf; now give me your pot of gold

[poops4president]

well if ur guna make one i could say probably 2-3 i know my buddy would want one.

and elves dont have pots of gold...lol

[Redweasel]

yeah like...
"why are you drinking from a a log that is leaking all over the floor?"
"its a mug"
"no thats a stump with half the center chopped out by what looks like a spoon"
"so..."


That is exactly what i was thinking! FLMAO!

[Ronthered]

now how the hell do you know if elves have pots of gold? There could be an elf reading this saying, fuck you poop, I save my gold just like any good Leprechaun.

[poops4president]

lmao! if we are talking like santas elfs... hopefull ythey have been hording shit cuz this xmas is gunna be rough and i bet alot of them already lost their jobs... but if we are talking DnD most dont care much for riches such as gold.

[rdwj]

Those are pretty cool, but not $40 cool

[MrMarbleHead]

RD whats up man?! good to see you back around, haven't seen you in a while how you been?

[Ronthered]

[DrunkenSatyr]

I have had and still do have ton's of those mugs. well worth the money.
