Hello Guys - I got a questio. I got this beautiful big piece of briar that I want to use to make a nice stubby billiard style pipe. To give you an idea of what I want to make look at www.smokingpipes.com and under Locating Pipes - Billiard there is an Ardor Billiard Urano Rusticated Red (SKU 002-004...

In fine sanding the stem (where it goes into the mortise) I think I took the stem shoulder out of alighnment with the stem itself. I tweek it tonight. Thanks

I've made the pipe and it's impressive by my standards. Now to the stem. I got a pre-made one from Pimo and perhaps made a mistake of sanding the tenon so it fits better into the mortise.

I started my first pipe this weekend and other than the knowledge that I can do it, I have decided that dust collection is a concern. I used a sanding bit on my drillpress to tweek the final shaping and I have this black gunk coming out of my nose. My apologies if anyone is breakfasting as they read...

Jeff - I have just the bit too. I'll do it. I've done a bunch of reading up so we'll see how it goes...once again thanks much

Thought I'd just introduce myself as someone who has some power tools smokes a pipe and thought I'd try my hand at making one. Just got the book and an abauchon from Pimo and will have a go. Seems pretty complicated but we'll see shortly. Thanks
