Merry Christmas and Hoppy Holidays all!

Your product ends up in a much uglier place. Nice property...I really dig the gardens too!

I would love to throw a bunch of tobacco in there and use it.

I also have to back out officially because my business is circling the drain. No time for fun right now.

How would one get on this chat?

The chamber on that looks like it was drilled at a 90 degree angle not canted a little for easement. Is this true of all princes?

Here's a wonderful example of a prince for those concerned. Possibly my favorite to date.

I've subscribed to your youtube channel. I will be sharing it with my friends. Keep those videos coming they are awesome. That was some innovative roof framing goin' on. LOL Never seen it done with a chainsaw!

Cheers and Prayers for you and your family,

That was a delicious read.

I would try crafting a pipe out of briar for your next attempt. And when your finished show the recommended angles of the pipe for a proper critique. I do appreciate "objet trouvé". http://www.artinlimbo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/fountain.jpg See for future reference: http://www.pipem...

I'm leaning towards the PM1236 but am a little worried about making such a large purchase before I have the chops . this I agree with wiseman. I'm letting the market vote for my existence as a pipe maker - the market should also dictate the type of machines you use if any machines at all. Slow and ...

My first take- WTF?! Seriously though, that's a really silly thing to say. Especially if you've met some of the top-tier artisans and spoken with them at any length about their craft. When people smash with fists- they don't get high precision- they get bar fights. Mass production setups are great ...

The line between handmade and machine-made pipes can get a bit fuzzy sometimes. I think this machine leans toward the "machine-made" side of that line... That topic is a big one and it goes way back in time! I'm sure early hominids were debating the effectiveness of smashing things with t...

I've used a router to round the bottom of the bowl with a 1" dia round over. router should be mounted horizontal and you need the bowl fit on a shaft that will pivot the stummel into the cutter to a stop then turn 180. makes quick work of excess material. takes some setup and test runs. I woul...

I just thought of another way: a router table It would be scary to use, but would work pretty well as long as you had a bit for each pipe you wanted to make. What?! DO NOT ATTEMPT until you have designed a router-table sled that securely holds that chunk of briar in place while keeping your hands v...

As for now, I do not own a metal lathe. I have a drill press, a table saw, sanding wheel, and a bunch of files. I do most of my stummel shaping with a table saw. I'm a little apprehensive about sharing the redneck-fung-shoei process but here it is for what its worth, you may find this helpful - you ...

Next level.

I'm in. I apologize in advance to whomever gets my pipe. And yes...I have said this before.

Cheers,
Matt
