What can you do with a 1"x 12" piece of pine? pt.1 Cigarette Machine

regardless of whether or not someone smokes, this is still a great piece and a great challenge to yourself and others. Nice job, wrong brand ;)

Looks like you have enough room for about 3 cartons, so I’m guessing you either have a hellofa habit, or there’s more than one smoker in your house.
Creative idea. Nice job on the cig machine

Piece looks great. The idea could easily be used for dispensing other items as well.

As a non smoker I think this is a great piece. first a great piece of work, second a good solid metephorical figer to PC.

PC be damned, it’s a great project. Gonna ‘flatter’ you and copy this one for the three smokers in my household!!! Where did you find the eagle?

I only comment on this because I like your mention about political correctness in today’s world…...something that is way overblown. I guess if I was politically correct I would not comment on this project or try to say something nice about it. But dude, do you really want cigs displayed in your kitchen? Come on! That will add some value to your house. A convenient rack located inside a cabinet door much like a spice rack seems better and would serve the same purpose.
