Re: Jaws For Holding Briar in Your Chuck!
Steve does great work, a real service for small-timers. Pins would be good, and the mods Steve mentions in his post would be very good also, but the jaws are first-rate. Steve, I'll be in touch soon- I know I left you hanging, but things are better now.

Re: question about a comoy stem repair
Finster, I don't think a removable "condensation tube" is what he was referring to. Kamkiel --- you are talking about a pressed/glued reinforcing tube that's PART of the stem, yes? If so, don't worry, reproducing it isn't necessary for a repair. If not, please describe in greater detail o...

Re: question about a comoy stem repair
From what I understand aluminum inner tubes were instituted in an effort to cool the smoke being drawn before it reaches the smokers mouth, similar to the effect a longer churchwarden stem has on the draw. I have a few old Hilsons that had such tubes in them, and I found that they created moisture p...
Re: PITH 2015
Pipe and review both received, many thanks Seamonster and notow1. I have offered a brief review to Seamonster and will give a more complete critique when I've gotten a few more smokes in his pipe, but he did a great job. All of the offerings look really nice, talented pipemakers here. Sorry I can't ...

Re: The current state of this forum
I can only speak for myself as a new member, but I can honestly say that I never had an interest in joining a forum of any kind until I stumbled upon PMF back in March. Hope it keeps going strong.

Cool, your crap shines?! Oh wait I think I got confused.NathanA wrote:Thanks, fellas. I honestly was just trying to give a little crap back to the old man but apparently I wasn't too clear. I'll try to make my sarcasm and attitude shine through a little more.

Re: One at a time or multi task
Workflow, pacing, how many, how much have been some of my major concerns. I don't get a lot of shop time and when I do I have at times been almost paralyzed creatively, not quite knowing where to start. I haven't figured out yet which works best, but I do know when I focus on one pipe it took me alm...

Just wondering...
So I'm not looking to call anyone out, there are no implications here, but I'm curious. How many forum members are not selling their pipes. I mean, choose not to sell them, not that can't seem to sell them. Are thre many of us? Again, not judging anything here, more like taking a census.
