The coasters look like they are on steroids!!!
Def big enough for my big coffee cup or a bowl of soup

Thanks for the comparison shot! I expect it’s because the OG ones weren’t actually made from recycled pockets. I’m pretty sure those were just made-for-purpose, so they’re smaller. That’s also why we never got more of the OG ones, no time in the factory schedule for it.

Actually, the person who used to make them was a IH employee at the Hachioji shop. She made them in her spare time.

She no longer works for IH.....

Aha! Love the IH lore. Thanks, G

@Anesthetist I had some very big bottom jeans to work with
Thrilled that you got one of the pocket ones. I love seeing where these end up in the world.

[Anesthetist]

@Lynne beautiful work, I love them, especially the hidden pocket. It is an amazing detail!

[goosehd]

@Lynne from the bottom of my heart (and all of us), thank you!!! We will cherish these and cheers to you and @Steve ️

[Lynne]

@goosehd thank you, that means a lot ️

These are awesome! And Mike’s patch will hopefully find a home one day on some wife-approved duck IH-806 one day

[Mizmazzle]

Grabbed one for myself while is Gosport and a couple for @SourPower. Finally gonna give them to the poor dude tomorrow. Sorry it took so long buddy!

[mclaincausey]

Send you a big hug @Lynne !
A dream came true!

[Lynne]

@Aetas what a lovely message to wake up to! It’s a dream for me to make them ️

My plan was to use my coaster on my work desk. Finally got it here this morning.

*disclaimer: this photo was mildly staged for extra teacher-y-ness. (However, all items were gathered from the actual chaos of my desk top and moved to one corner )

@Mizmazzle nothing screams teacher more than an apple and a solo cup.

[Lynne]

@Mizmazzle looks the perfect set up - did you bring your own apple? 🥰

[Lynne]

Live from Gosport, we bring you breaking news that more coasters are in the making Currently digging rivets out…I may be a while ️

[Mizmazzle]

@Lynne while I actually have had students bring me apples over the years, this one I brought myself as I like to adhere to the “an apple a day…” adage. Love this coaster and so grateful to have one!

@derek111 apple for health during the day and solo cup for mental health in the evenings!

Maybe the most ridiculous use of one these? I got tired of the calculator clanking around.
