i smoke 1-2 cigaretts per day and my wife hunting me always and hides the ashtrays...so i will try to make one of them...and maybe do some extra job with dremel to cut the edges

i do not smoke but i still find myself wanting to make one hmm...

no worries, you can also probably put a small analog clock in it, hang it on the wall somewhere, or just keep it as an ashtray for guests something

A really good idea , it's a design object. I think it will be a cult ! Finalmente un'idea originale su come riciclare le lattine nell'uso quotidiano ! An exciting idea ojn how to recycle can in the dayli use !

Damn, i looked closely for a similar instructable when i posted mine here :http://www.instructables.com/id/EBJTU79F2DSDRIJ/?comments=all#CU1O727F4NIBBAE . But i did not find yours. I probably would juste have posted comments on how i make mine. I like the way you cut the "petals" though.

Awesome! Really nice idea. I also like that you roll you own cigs. Out of curiosity, what sort of tobacco are you using, what is that yellow box at the top of the picture in step 6? I look forward to making my own new ashtray. At parties, when no one can find an ashtray, I typically grab an empty beer can and stab it with my key and then cut around the whole can and then fold over the edges. It works well.

Ta very much. I smoke Cutter's Choice, and the yellow box is a pack of Swan filter tips. At parties, I just tap my ash into someone else's unattended can to get a cheap laugh when they come back for it.
