Can a box be too shallow?

Started by Sean Murphy. Last reply by Raymond Grimmitt Dec 21, 2021. 3 Replies

I picked up two boxes for my first couple of attempts at CBG's; finished the first and I'm getting ready to start the second.The box I got is nice and long, but it's a bit shallow - only 2" deep. I feel like it'll be an interesting build but I'm…Continue

Removing box labels

My first cigar box is on the way, and it's a paper-covered wood one. As cool as the label might be, I'd rather have a plain wood box, so I can customize it to my liking...is there a set method of removing these labels, without ruining the wood…Continue

Howdy Wagner - Glad ya got taken care of there, pardner. What ya got sent to ya was just the link for the GittyMan CBG Making Manual.

I am going to send you another email with a 'Confirmation Link' on it. Be sure to click on that link so you can get several dozen more video links that I'll send to ya on CBG Makin' and CBG Playin'. A lot of the folks on this Forum have really enjoyed those extra videos (free)


Watch your email today my friend....

Dear Mordacai,

I really had not received the manual, and as I said I received after contacting Mr. Keith Stanford, do not know if he's your friend, but he sent me the link so I can download the manual, and I am very satisfied recommend it to everyone, must have really been a problem as spam.
I hope you have not been bored, but I really wanted the manual to start making my CBG.

I wish you success in selling your manual,

Thanks for feedback,

Comment by Robert Dawkins on April 18, 2014 at 1:58am

WOOT! I'm first on the list...got mine last night! Thanks, Mordecai!

Howdy y'all!

Wagner contact me indicatin’ that he had not received his GittyMan Manual, which he bought 3 weeks ago.  We got it all taken care of now.

The process is after payment is made through Paypal, the book is electronically sent via an auto-responder.

I checked and everyone who has ordered in the last 3 weeks and everyone did indeed get a ‘Confirmation Email’ sent to them, which sometimes gets hung up in the customer’s Spam Folder.

Here are the 23 folks who have ordered the GittyMan Manual in the past 3 weeks:  Robert D., Ken W., John J., Benjamin H., David R., Matthew T., Brian R., Christopher C., William B., David T., Ken V., David M., Mark B., Amanda W., Ron D., Brian S., Peter B., Joe R., Betty H., Mike S., Patrick K., Stina R., Joshua K.

I think all of those customers did receive their GittyMan Manual, but if not….please email me and I’ll take care of it for you. (GittyMan’s email is mordacai@GittyMan.com)

WOW....Twenty-three of y'all have ordered my book in the past 3 weeks!

Word has obviously gotten out on the value of havin’ this CBG Making Manual. 

Thank you everyone, for suportin’ my work.

Friends

After a tip from Randy S. Bretz, i could contact the seller by facebook and so i finally sent me the link to download the manual.

Probably was a communication error, sorry but I was looking forward to being able to do my CBG.

My sincere apologies Mordacai

 

Thanks guys

Comment by mordacai bondurant on April 16, 2014 at 8:32am

(Brian - Thank ya for the help watchin' my back there, pardner.)

Wagner - All of the links and videos I send out are done through a autoresponder company.  I'll check with them to make sure they sent it. It is dun electronically, so usually there ain't no glitches, but I'll check just the same.

As Brian mentioned, these emaisl can sometimes end up in your SPAM folder.

If'n you can't find it, PLEASE send me an email to my personal email addy and I'll restart the autoresponder for ya and get ya takin' care of when I return home from work tonight.

Here is my email addy = mordacai@GittyMan.com

Kind regards....

mordacai

Hey Wagner, In the words of Mordecai, "Check yer junk mail".  I ordered one last week and that's where mine was sent that evening (even after unjunking and unblocking the first email send to verify my email account).
