Well, well, well... You can imagine how much we are disapointed by the way this pipe show goes... I'm sure we will react very soon, here in France and I hope we'll be a bit more than two or three pipes collectors !

We are numerous, here in France, to appreciate all that you do to give rise to vocations, and we all understand your choice.

Thanks again, and good luck !

I've just finished to eat my scalloped tenon ! Very goog recipe... I'll buy some of the tools I need today and I'll try to make those changes these days. I've worked on one of my old pipe who smoked very wet and the result is already nice, even if my tools are really home-made ! So thank you all I m...

Shame on me, i made a bad translation of "putting a chamfer" in french, but this mistake gave me the idea to extend the tenon, which is not good at all. So I have to dig a kind of V inside the tenon, as you pictured it (that's what i had in mind first). There is something I don't catch : t...

What a wonderful forum for a beginer like me ! I learn many things every day, that's really great.

So, congratulation from France!

Do you think it's a good idea to add a tenon extension, even if it's seems quite hard ? I could fix the extension and file it until it has the good size and then pierce it so that the end of the mortise matches with the tenon ? But maybe epoxy could be toxic ? (Maybe I'd rather buy a pipe to a real ...

So, aerodynamic is quite important : we need a tenon which doesn't resist to the air flow and this air flow has to be constant. The button must be filed too. To me, this means that we have to taper the tenon so that its very extremity has no thick. Does anyone has ever "studied" the air fl...

Thank you Marks, I'll try to add a chamfer at the end of my tenons.
Do I need epoxy to glue it ? It doesn't seem to be easy, but I've never thought about it.

Thank you again, some of my pipes will be saved !

Sure, it helps me : I want to funnel the inlet of the tenon, (my english is a bit poor), and I'm going to try with sandpaper. But do I need to go very deep (as deep as i can) in my funnelling or do I have to roll on just a few mm inside the tenon ? In fact my question is : if there exist a gap in th...

That's the point ! The tenons I want to modify are those which don't fit well with the end of the mortise, I mean where there's a gap in the mortise/tenon area. I thought the best way to reduce the moisture was to taper the tenon, but maybe there are another solutions, and i'll be happy to know them...

This is my very first question on this forum, and furthermore I'm french and not very used to write in english! I'd like to taper the tenon in order to reduce the condensation. So I'd like to know what is the best shape I have to give to the tenon. For instance, what is the best slope i have to give...
