help kurt i know this is a bi of an old thread but i need your assistance. one of the welds on my 2 jaw chuck has broken and i am having the hardest time getting it fixed. i was wondering how exactly you made your jaws out od wood and if you would be willing to help me construct some of my own? poss...

very nice. one question was that drilled after shaping??
great work :thumb:

speaking of oil curing has anyone tried it and if so was it worth it???
:think:

sorry a typo www.pipemakers.org

i have not tried that but read once that it is very low heat probably as low as it can go and the door needs to be kept open. and as for time i think is was said over a few days i think. cant remember where i read id but i think it was from mike butera?? i just dry mine in my garage durring the summ...

the press is a bit tougher to do stems on and yes a pimo tenon turner is a great buy. i have and still use mine on occasion. as for the expencive cross slide vice i think you are looking for something too precise. i bought mine from harbor freight and it was like 40$ it has held up fine. i havent ch...

i dont know exactly what you are looking for a cutter or just a place to buy some briar that is of quality? i have purchased some from pipemakrs.org they actually have the best briar in my experiences withut going directly to a cutter the extra extra quality is what i have used and i have gotten gre...

on the varic idea i dont know if i agree with that. the setup he has looks to work fine for him and it is a bit of a specialty tool in itsself. so would mr talbert realy need to spend the money to have various pullys made when he just needs only one speed anyways??

i will agree a drill press is a igreat buy. just buy something sturdy!!!! spend the extra few bucks and get something that is a bit larger than anything you plan on doing. i think mine is 18"? this will save you alot of hasle. also when buying a vice look into the cross slide ones that gives yo...

i would be interested in beeswax for some mershums just a small bit will do is there a price? just let me know?

thank you guys. this blast was done in a single stage and only took me about an hour or two i cant remember i stopped for a bit then returned but still used thre same media and pressure. i did change the blasting pattern occasionaly and learned to not do that. i have some ideas for some new work. th...

wow some people are getting pretty mad here i didnt mean to start anything like this. i commend all of you that have given hints and suggestions they are a big help. some people just dont get it that experimentation is all of the fun and the results that i might like others might not like and the on...

i might be slow or something what is the asp that i keep seeing on this forum i am new to the whole computer and forums i can only imagine that it is another forum that i dont know about? and are there any other good pipe websites for chit chat that i need to know about??

i do wish that it were that simple just a list and a willing hand but i think it is a bit different than that. i know that every piece of briar is different and they will blast differently. also and more the important i know that every pipemaker is somewhat secritive of what and how they will blast ...

i will admit i used the harbor freight one and it did the job pretty well i have nothing to compare it to but mine didnt leak nor did i have to do any upgrades to it. it was a bit tough to change the media but i cant see that being easy on anything less than a free standing one. and i just dont have...

if you mix the orange with the tan or the light brown you will get a good pumpkin looking stain. i used it for a project with my daughter havent used it on a pipe yet but would think it would be nice for a halloween pipe.

thanks man

thanks man worked great i think
