If you want to do a saddle stem with no decoration, you will need to start over. Otherwise, you can turn down the stem and put a decorative sleeve of some material to cover the error. I routinely do this to cover the delrin when using transluscent acrylic stem material. (Actually, this is just about...

Like Jack said, the cast acrylic from Delvies is excellent. I have been using their rods for several years, and have had excellent results with it. It's what I use when I make a pipe for myself, or if I want to get some different colors for pipes I sell. It is much more difficult to drill (you must ...

Two new pipes
I finally got around to making some more pipes, shown as numbers 4007 and 4207 on my website. I did make one in between these two, but rejected it for retail, and kept it in my collection. Didn't take pics of it, though.
Link below. Thanks for looking.

I also use a 1 inch belt sander for rough shaping, and I usually leave a drill bit in the draft hole at the button, but I use it as a hold instead of a guide. I keep from going into the airway by measuring the thickness of the stem just behind the button. I also measure the distance from the uncut d...

Here's how I have been squaring the shank lately: I cut a longer piece of delrin, and when I get the pipe near completion, I insert the delrin into the mortise, chuck it in the Taig, pin the back (actually, what will be the front of the pipe) with the tailstock pin, then cut a very thin amount off t...

It's not my fault! I am a victim. I'm going to hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit against whomever has the deepest pockets. Rad Reminds me of some comedy group (I forget who) that did a lawyer commercial skit where people were suing themselves, and winning big bucks! Personally, I think you should co...

Re: Spoon Bits
Guys, Let's say I make an 11/16, 3/4, and 13/16 set, and it comes in at a price of $250. How many of you will purchase the set? I need COMMITTED answers here to get definitive prices, but consider $250 in the neighborhood. I will need money in advance, and shipping will be actual cost. Brad It was ...
