Hey Chris, Your New Beer Pole....Seriously (Pics)

[Flatrate]

Very nice of you Robert and you have some good skills!

Well since I seen Chris has yet to show up for this, I am willing to step up and accept this generous gift on his behalf! Just sayin.

That is awesome. Wonder if there is a wider market for a side gig selling a few? I’d get one!

WOW!!! Robert I'm truly at a loss for words. You've created a work of art right there my friend. It's beautiful and I really appreciate the time, effort and thought that you put into it. However(now I'll get beaten up for what I'm about to say), I just can't bring myself to retire my original beer pole. It may not have been displayed in my earlier threads, but It's been there standing tall by my side since day one. So with that said. I'm afraid that I'll have to turn down your more than generous offer. I sincerely hope that you're not offended by my decision, but I just couldn't accept it knowing that it would just sit collecting dust in my garage.

To steal a descriptor from a good friend. That pole is EPIC, and I really wish I could accept it.

Thank you again.
Chris

A mobile beer can holder. What not to like! So cool Robert!

It is a pretty simple project Brian, but I guess it could be taken to wherever it may be needed. Hadn't really thought about that though.

This thread is so full of awesomeness! Great idea Robert!

Thanks Keith!! Just trying to give a little back to a place I've gained so much...and trying to be the person my dog thinks I should be

Sweet, you do some fine work Robert!

Thanks buddy. This one was almost too easy....but should be very functional.

Robert I was reading this and thought of you:

Wow, thanks Brian. That is pretty deep and perhaps just a bit over rated. I very much appreciate the thought however.

Robert

Man that is cool! But it could also double as a melee weapon for the zombie apocalypse!!

Thanks Jim!! I suppose it could double as a weapon but if you're needing a tool for the zombie apocalypse just say so. I could probably do something a bit more specific for the task.

That’s a nice beer pole for Chris! Keep a magnetic bottle opener on it and you’ll never have to worry about opening any bottle ever again.

Very much appreciate it Joe. the bottle opener was an additional expense that Chris opted against

Robert

 

[tx smoker]

Very cool indeed!

Thank you very much....but it was also very, very simple.

Robert

 

[tx smoker]

Dang Robert that is just cool! Love the nice touch of the nylon feet and end caps just legit!!!!

Thank you sir!! I tend to be pretty anal retentive about the details on any project. Just wanted to cover all the bases on this one.

Robert

TXS, Nice fabrication and a good plan for the Koozie space !

Thanks so much. I just try to think through things to make sure all the bases are covered. Additionally, that was the only size of round steel pipe I had so it was really not a choice, more a lack of options It just worked out well so I used it as a selling point.

Very nice. So helpful when you are handy.

Awesome work Robert!

Thanks buddy. I appreciate it. Was the most basic and simple project I've done though.

Robert

 

[tx smoker]

Wow Robert! Once again your generosity is matched by your craftsmanship. What an awesome and thoughtful project! Great work!

Thanks so much Jed. As much as anything, it was just something to do. I needed a project to keep myself busy so decided to go ahead and put this together.

Robert

 

[tx smoker]

That wasn’t built in?!?! Major design flaw

Nah, it was by design. See, when a person gets to the age of gmc2003 , not only does he have his favorite spatula, he also has his favorite bottle opener. I could never replace that so left it to him to provide his favorite one

nice work....what a great project tx smoker , no end to your creativity and generosity.

Thanks so much Cliff, but as much as anything, I just needed something to do. I get bored easily if I'm not busy.

Robert

 

[tx smoker]

just awesome, any way you look at the whole post and story

Thanks so much David, but this is just what the forum is all about. Chris has given tons to the people here. Seemed fitting to give a little back.

Very nice Robert it looks awesome Chis is in for a major upgrade it seems

Thanks so much Jerry but it looks like Chris is gonna keep his current (and iconic) beer pole. This one will be going elsewhere.
