Thunder Mug OBSESSED.

[Doc Brown.]

I have been obsessed now for about 2 months with thunder mugs.  With each one I think of something else I want to try and its lots of fun. Using a bit of historical accuracy as a starting point and with the constraints of using steel I am enjoying the never ending chase for a more perfect mug. Theres much more improvements I can make. had someone tell me last month my handle was to skinny so I moved it up to 1/2" I tried 5/8" and ended up with a dog turd. Thanks.
 
What mug do you think looks the best?

dock,
I like the heavier handles.  Those things look great!
I have always wanted a thunder mug.

Thanks Zulu and jeeper.  I like the big handles also but every screw up with 5/8" cost 5 bucks. I have a whole box of screw ups.

Gary> cool video , awesome smoke ring
 
dockholidaiy> Nice looking thunder mugs   The finish on your barrel (assuming its stainless) and paint on the mugs is a reflection of your craftsmanship, keep up the good work!   I also like the one Jeeper 1 commented on.
 
Zulu> I want one too ! !

Another vote for the heavier handle although I wouldn't turn my nose up at any of them.
