    Default Stretch Cigar!!

    Thanks to NewLondon's suggestion in my help thread, here's the completed stretch Cigar for my BIL to go with his stretch Churchill. The green Cigar in the second pic is a normal size on for comparison. Sure was an interesting exercise.

    Nice job with that. I assume basically all you did was use a longer tube. When turning you had to eye the barrel up over a longer section. I love the green blank. Thanks for showing.

    That's what I thought originally too, until my "help" thread as the twist mechanism has to lock into the end of the pen, so I had to do some extra mods.
