wondering if anyone has any tins of fillmore from 6/06 or 7/06 that they would want to sell. i like these tins more than the present fillmore.....thanks

thanks a lot for the comments. usually the flat side of the blowfish has a flat angled surface that surrounds the oval area. i just decided on a whim to use the engraved style around the oval. the grain is not the traditional cross grain of course, but you can do whatever you want with your personal...

this is my thirteenth pipe. first time i have made a blowfish type of shape. the tobacco chamber is 3/4, the airhole is 3.5 mm, the length is 5 1/2 in., and the briar is from larry roush. i decided to keep this pipe for myself because everytime i'm smoking a pipe around someone who knows that i make...

pretty clever rad. thats like the ballad of micoli's and englishmen.....

thanks for the kind words. the rough section on the bottom is actually the top of the briar burl. thankfully i didn't have to do any carving or rustication.....

jeff, thanks for your concern. i don't have a drill press. when i stated that i wanted a 1/2 inch shank to use in the drill chuck, i meant the drill chuck in the lathe tailstock. it seems to me that i could use it manually or chucked in the tailstock with the briar spinning. in one of brad's first p...

i think that is very prudent of todd not to want to post the info on the method in the concern of safety. getting so close to a lathe powered spinning drill bit could cause major hand injury of course. hopefully todd can expain how to do this in a safe way, or maybe it's too dangerous for the masses...

count me in please for the oiginal set of three with a 1/2 half inch shank if i want to use it in the drill chuck......thanks

hello all. thanks again for the feedback. it would be great if that guy would let you post the information about drilling after shaping. i understand the axis technique with using the center on the tailstock. before i got the lamb chuck i drilled the tobacco chamber and mortise in a vise that i set ...

very funny....

thanks alot for all the feedback. i agree that the stem should have sat lower in the shank, but it is difficult to have the foresite when you drill before shaping of course. i knew that i wanted the rough bottom look, so i just did the best i could with what i had. don't quite know how to keep the p...

this is my 10th pipe. the briar is from larry roush. it tastes great. let me know what you think...thanks. http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/996/pict00052lv.jpg http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/5083/pict00069mr.jpg http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/3552/pict00290ca.jpg http://img444.imageshack.us/img4...

definitely interested in the set. just curious if the bit will taper toward the bottom....

thanks for all the input guys. the most accessable one is the delta from lowe's. kurt, would you recommend the 1 hp or the 1.5 hp?. i'm going to investigate the penn state one also.....thanks again.

just wondering if anyone could recommend a good dust collector or cyclone......thanks.

hello pipeworld. this is my first post on the forums. i have been working on my pipemaking for almost a year now. thought i would show you guys my latest pipe. this is an elephant's foot/shield shape. the briar is algerian from pipemaker's .org, the shank is snakewood and the mouthpiece is cumberlan...
