homemade cigarminder
i saw the "cigarminder" at cbid and CI for about $8 and it looked to me like one of my wife's hair clips attached to a clip for a bag of chips.

so i took a hair clip and used Liquid Nails (TM) to attach it to a small clamp, and now i have an ugly, cheap ($1) version just in time for golf league.

Re: homemade cigarminder
Nice job! A friend made one for me last year, very similar. Now the trick will be not to forget it on the cart when you leave That's how I lost that one, bought a coupla cigarminders this season - plan to keep it on the bag at all times.

Re: homemade cigarminder
It looks great! I hope the clips won't separate. I'd hate for you to ruin an expensive smoke because the glue got hot in sun. Is there a safer way to attach the two?

Re: homemade cigarminder
Great job.

The ones ive seen always made me think "now what would i do with that, i dont golf"

Yours on the other hand is more my type. Perfect for just about anything.

Mowin the lawn, clamp it onto the mower
Working on the car, clamp it on the car

Now if you could only get a suction cup on the other side it would be absolutely perfect

im pretty sure liquid nails is a type of epoxy.

the 5 minute/2 chamber epoxies that you see at home depot are very strong, and wont come undone due to the sun etc.

Re: homemade cigarminder
nice work Macgyver looks pretty slick, should do the trick fine. actually th real Minder's clip is a little to tight around the cigar (at least bigger robbies etc) yours looks like it solved that lil problem

cheers

Re: homemade cigarminder
