Start by making a dublin, then a billard.

Are there any photos of these spoon bits available?

I've made my first pipe with the shape-first process the last 3 days, and I really enjoyed it. I've used pilot hole until 12mm when an egg shaped burr -Bo Nordh style- and it was the only hard part and really stressfull....so some spoon bits designed by J.Alan are going to be purchased soon. I choos...

I'm making a freehand pipe with wenge wood on stummel. It was my first shape-first pipe, and everything gone well with drilling.

I want to ask if it's ok for the smoke to pass through wenge wood or I should insert a metal rod such as bamboo pipes.

I was looking out for a pin gage set and found this one on shars: http://www.shars.com/products/view/2132 but they only send to Greece via UPS and shipping costs 365$!!!!! for 86$ pins.... Is there any way for someone in US to send the set to, and then send it to me by standard USPS shipping? Thanks...

Have you got any suggestions where to get a cheap metric set?

Craftsmen or Industrial Designers. We have to be able to find the balance between aesthetic and functional issues.

If we were making pipes that don't smoke, we would be artists, if we just drill 2 holes one a block we would be engineers.

Well don't take it that hard.

It would be a great honor to me to see someone in a few years, copying my style of pipemaking.

I've contacted another supplier and seems that everyone in Greece is using micron size as reference....100-200 is the number that fits me.

Hello there, I've contacted my blasting media supplier to place an order, and he told me that in glass beads the grit number is refering to weight(not like Al/ox or sandpaper grit) so 300-400 is heavier and more aggresive than 100-200. Do I need to order the most aggresive 300-400 or the smaller and...

Is there any tobacco shops that you know and have McClelland's blends and/or SG Full Virginia Flake?

Bend the stem more.

Old-fashioned pipes had overbend stems for extra style.

Well, some changes are allready made, and I hope I can finish it soon.

Here in Greece we are really heavy cigarettes smokers and have a widely-known phrase:

"The best cigarette is the one they give you for free"

Really nice work, keep renovating!!!


I would prefer a more comfortable chair, though.

I'm crying....

I've made a nice box of 18mm thick plywood draw some wide holes(at the side of the box that is facing to the river next to my shop) and left plenty of room to have lot air and not overheat.

At the other sides of the box I glued rockwool so I reduced the noice, and got done with the neighbours.

I do use my dust collector from outside of my workshop.

It's better setup cause of the less noise and filter's dust.

I don't know about the ebay listings, but about a month ago I went to his shop and he told me that he had problems with a change of hosting server for his site.

George I'll agree with you.

I've wrote it again that to me, a pipe is given more points for handmade stem of ebonite and solid tenon.
