I see the problem Kurt, to mix the fluids will create a reaction not wanted lol. Good thing to never have the 2 bottles open at the same time. While applying the second fluid never put the same pipecleaner twice in bottle, always use a new one for each time. Sorry, it doesn´t say anything else but w...

all i know of these things is that it´s quite dangerous chemicals in what way i don´t know, i know the reaction is when you apply the last chemical to the wood and the first chemical must be well dry before apply. Soz Kurt, That´s why i decided to post the chemical names along with the thread so the...

anilinhydrochloride = C6H5NH2.HCl
Brass(II)chloride, natriumchorate =CuCl2.2H2O, NaClO3

when i look close to the names on the bottles it says brass(II)chloride, i guess it´s a important message. :lol: i apply the fluids twice each let it dry between applications when i added the second chemical i can hurry up the process with some heat but as eltang doing it he let em dry and after the...

:lol: I guess we all have our bright moments, it´s a stain so deep into the wood that i used 10 min polishing with red polishpaste and just freed some tiny spots from the pit black, then i used 400 grid to highlight the soft wood and finaly stained it with pure yellow alcohol stain. No fears of the ...

thank you! I had access to Eltangs machinery with these pipes, he invited me for a quick run through the machinery i got from Bo. The stain is Eltangs famous contrast, lots of work but the result is stunning. If translated word by word it´s (brasschloride, natriumchlorat) second is (anilinhydrochlor...

Been waiting for power for 11 months to get the machinery i got from Bo Nordh running. Now finaly i can start installing the machinery and start making again, visited Eltang for 4 days learning the machinery and made 2 pipes there, or 2 was completed. http://www.geocities.com/simplunique/blast.jpg h...

I would never try to sell my work on ebay, i have always been trying to find the buyer among collectors or smokers who realize the true value of hand made pipes. Takes time but after a while the word get out and things getting easier. I have been fortunate to have Frenchy as PR too, great guy with w...

To be honest i really don´t think any craftsmen can charge per hour during the first years in the trade, untill the quality of crafmanship is recognized. At least here in Sweden the market is very hard for all craftsmen even the most experienced have problems getting their hours of sweat and hard wo...

I like the shape some influence from Tokutomi, the staining will be so much better if you sand before each stain you get so much more depth and clear finish to the grain. Great work!

The magic of stains great work!

Thx!! It smokes like a dream, cool and dry. The shape is similar to Bo´s cracked pipe but i don´t use extention so i had to make the pipe a bit stubby to make the stem fit better to the shape. I have been doing absolute nothing for very long time and i guess i got a bit under the ice and not up to d...

My old workshop have a lathe that makes very bad drillings off center so i have to mount drill to lathechuck and drill pipe in hand. But, i really needed a new smoker so i started to make a pipe, been away for more than 6 months so i didn´t have any high hopes of the shape. I didn´t even do the fini...

I am not surpriced to see yet some CRAZY work from you, you are a true artist my friend. Soon as i get my workshop ready i will live there for a year, been away from making for over 6 months due to my power source. But, in June i will take a few extra days at Vollmer-Nilsson during the meeting pipec...

i like that stem work great design, it´s very hard to find proper stems for shapes like that. You made it, gratz!

it must not be the extention that were to long it could been the shank that was to long aswell, if shorter the extention would been better might been a bit to long but better...

According to Bengt carlson, Cornelius makes some really unique and topgrade pipes. I think it´s really hard getting hold of one of his pipes but perhaps Per Billhäll can arrange something if you really want one of the cornelius pipes. I looked at one of his pipes that Bengt got as a gift from Cornel...

In Bo´s last will he wanted me to have all his machinery and toolings from his workshop, the 16:th Tom Eltang and Jan Andersson drove all the way from the southern of Sweden to my workshop with all the machinery and toolings. I was stunned by Bo´s thoughts and didn´t understand it untill the machine...

I was mighty surprised when the mailman honked his horn outside my house today and delivered a large bax from Algeria on my porch. 2 years ago if not more i ordered a prepayed box of briar and after a long and irritated time with many mails it finaly arrived. Perhaps it were the postings at this for...
