Yep, once you get the edges of wood turning is really smooth and somewhat meditative
Great job, looks very nice!

Time, hard work and exceptional skill levels will dictate pricing. I believe this is true for experienced enthusiasts, "well read" customers and a loyal customer base. On the other hand there is a hype of "hand made quality" right now that seems to be making people go nuts. The ...

Hello, nice with a fellow countryman on this forum!
Where are you situated?

Very nice.

Might not be an author but it sure would look in front of the fireplace with a good book=)

Nice work!!

That is a neat idea! Although I must say it bugs me when they claim the watch is 100% wood :wink: One alternative could be to look for an old mechanical watch at ebay, demount it and use the parts for your own. It will surely take some time but it might be worth it.. however if you do, be gentle wit...

I personally was blown away when I first saw the post on the Gear-Punk pipe here at the forum.
I would be surprised if it was not the joined (-1 apparently) opinion of this forum that Nate produces most fine smoking pipes. Indeed that is my point of view, and I congratulate you on making the cover!

The cut is pounds of flake per gallon of solvent. 1 pound = 453 grams 1 gallon = 3,78 litres So if you count back and forth (I may be mistaken...) a 1 pound cut should be 83,4 grams of shellac for 1 litre of alcohol. So Sasquatch's 5 pound cut would be 417 grams of shellac in a litre of alcohol. No...

I'm sorry, but I think I'll have to pass on this one...
Best of luck to you guys participating! I think there will be a lot of "out there" and innovative shapes

Looks really nice man! Good going with your first blast
My only personal design opinion would be that the stem could have started taper a bit earlier.

Best regards, Jon

Just to be clear, does it have to have long shank or just "as long as possible from the block/chosen design"? Or are we talking canadian-"fruits"??
I have a pretty good idea, but just want to be sure if its OK by the definitions of the PITH.

I must say i like all the ideas so far! Vegetable theme would really leave the PITH open for interpretations, a lot of classics inspired from nature:-)

Looks cool Rev! I dig it!

Cool guide man! Have you tried it (= is it worth trying )

My read on both the MSDS and the paper presented in the links is that the stuff is a lot safer than paint thinner, linseed oil, grout, wood dust, rubber dust, metal oxides, lacquer, pipe smoke, every type of adhesive, and just about everything else in my shop, actually. If you feed it in huge doses...

Regardless of what it is, I think you could accomplish the same set-up with a regular lathe or a polishing/sanding machine? Correct me if I'm wrong but a lathe with French wheel and polishing arbour mounted to the Jacobs chuck would do the same, and it would also have one additional feature...turnin...

I agree. Half-round rasp, round rasp, and a glass of beer will see it through nicely.

After shaping while drinking beer, which of course is the best way to do it, I however find it useful to check the shape the day after

Looks really nice!
Congratulations and good luck
Keep up the good work man!

I agree with what Sas wrote regarding the first one...just like I tried to say the last time you posted that pipe.
Regarding the second one it looks like a good start to me, and with the previous feedback it could turn out really good.

Here's an old thread where you might find some info:
