Re: PITH 2020!
I'm going to participate this year too. I would suggest an acorn, since that wouldn't require a lathe for the newer pipe makers

Re: PITH 2019!!!
I love your pipe seamonster, I saw it on Instagram and hoped that it for PITH.

Re: #1 newbie Billiard (or turd?)
1. I usually go for a 2 degrees slope to the prior angle starting from around 1/3 from the top of the bowl, and then I just round it off. 2. Yes, I have found out that most of pipe designs work better if you "push" the lowest part of the bowl a bit behind the center line of the bowl. 3. Th...

Re: #1 newbie Billiard (or turd?)
I agree with Massis, it looks good for a "first" pipe. First of all, your shank and bowl junction looks pretty well defined. Especially for an early billiard. So we'll done there! Second, the "chin" of the pipe should have a bigger radius, right now it looks kind of abrupt. But t...

Re: PITH 2019!!!
ah what the heck, count me in! I'll try to get one done this year :P Although I do personally believe we should restrict the category slightly by saying "No 'Danish' freehands". You see the PITH is all about becoming a better pipe carver. If there is ever a "shape" abused by new...

Re: PITH 2019!!!
No need to contact Tyler. Looks like Premal has taken on the responsibility on glueing this event together. If he has included you, you're fine. I can't wait to see all the entries for this year!b.danielpipecraft wrote:Im in! I think? First time ,guess i need to message tyler?

Re: PITH 2018!!!!
These are the three that I did, recipient gets his choice. The photos are not proportional. The dark one is the largest tobacco chamber, the acrylic stem one is somewhat the smallest. https://imageshack.com/a/img921/7685/UTucDL.jpg https://imageshack.com/a/img923/3827/2u7wGq.jpg https://imageshack....

Re: I Started Yet Another Billiard And Would Appreciae
Looks better! I think that if the chin had a bit more material then you could make an awesome billiard out of this one. Try to finish it, you could still learn a lot on stem work. Smoke it, analyze problems and think of a way to improve. What docaitch said, a sanding disc is very convenient and rela...

Re: I Started Yet Another Billiard And Would Appreciae
I can see that you are moving forward! I'm no expert, I'm quite inexperienced, but I want to stress out what Sandahl said. You need to take your time on the initial shaping, the shank/bowl junction need to be crispy (I think) It's one of the key elements to making a good looking billiard. Don't be a...

Re: PITH 2018!!!!
If we're throwing suggestions here, then I'm going to add:
Incorporating a live edge on pipe
That could produce some interesting results
