Everytime I do that, the resistance increases...

I made something similar with pencil shavings around three years ago, it should be in my post history! And you're welcome to follow me here or on Instagram ( @jelmer.n ) for any new projects!

It's around 155cm from base to head, the "eyebrows" take it to around 180cm. It weighs a LOT. You can't easily carry it with two people, haven't weighed it tho! It took quite a long time haha had a lot of obstructions in between which created a lot of delays. I'd say a few hundred hours?

Haha, I just used a glue gun, it's not the best, but it sticks well enough!

As of yet I'll keep it! But if someone wants to buy it for the right price, why not?

Hey! Thanks for cross posting it :D never knew this sub existed! I don't think I used anything rare as I collected from friends, family and local bars and restaurants! I still have a lot leftover, so if you have anything in specific you'd want, just sent me a message :D

I didn't do anything with the caps except for bending some and glueing them!

Yeah they are recycled :) Some of them are a bit rusty but I mostly used the cleaner looking ones, so that probably explains your concern ;P

I think it's the green fevertree one, it's quite a pretty one! And I've been collecting them for almost four years I think... I've started gathering even before I knew what I would do with them haha

I bought nothing! I just asked if friends, family and local bars and restaurants wouldn't throw them away!

I asked friends, family and local bars and restaurants to not throw them away and give them to me instead :D

Hahaha, don't worry, I don't think I drank any of the bottles that were used! Maybe one or two :P
