You're right about the cables, they have been removed.

this is what I use

Is that a "Diablo" pad? If so, that's what I am using for the meantime. I have my eyes on another which tapers from the backside to the edge more.

Great post Ernie. I traded a pipe I made for a Calabash as I had been wanting one for years. I specifically asked for HONEST feedback on my work (glad I did not stamp the pipe :D ). I was lucky enough to get the honest feedback and am focusing on the suggested areas needing improvement. It made me e...

Nice looking pipe. Love dogs so this made my day

Good video Chris. I have seven more questions;

Really just one. Are you applying a compound to the final disc (the Abralon disc)?

Thanks.

Very well done! I really like it.

Very cool! Comparable to any you have tried before?

Finished, finally. Sorry for the crudy pictures. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/554147_564903096860992_1862829165_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/64794_564903103527658_1042524419_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/554147_564903096860992_1862829165_n.jpg

Very cool man. I had thought of making a similar setup but using a collet and a bit on my Taig.

I used a new 8" buffing wheel. It will put a shine but does put a slight tint. I am going to try white HF1. I believe this is what is commonly used but am not sure yet. Waiting for a response.

The white compound is generally preferred if only because it isn't blue. Pounding blue compound into the pores of a pipe is a drag. Would that be Matchless brand white HF1 (product code)? I too bought the damn blue from pipe makers emporium and am not happy with it at all. It does change the color ...

Ok, I will finish. Thanks for the replies. Now if my Dachshund would quite being so clingy I can get some work done today , bless her heart...

It isn't finished yet. I still have to drill a hole on the "tube". There will be a Delrin tenon to fit the bowl to the tube. Just figured I would post as everyone is wanting to draw. If this does not fit the criteria I completely understand and no feelings will be hurt.

Trying to get this thing done. Here it so far. I am not happy with it but here it is.

I like it as is Brandon. AND the engineering is sound with that sleeve in there. Who knows, it might darken from natural oils on your hands. Great piece.

Digging it Brandon! I am wondering if the antler will darken or is there SS tubing involved? I think it would killer with the antler a little "yellowed". But no yellow, yellow.

Nice work.

Damn bud, looking great! I agree with Walt. Your panel is kick ass looking and the Dunhill, meh.

I was just eyeballing this today at the Emporium. It just arrived.
