Ah, wonderful. That's good to know. It's always interesting to see what custom tools makers come up with to make their job easier.

Does anyone have any idea what he is using? Is this some other type of French wheel setup? It looks a little more convex than most I have seen. Thanks.

Thanks taharris. I'll look into one of those mini hones.

Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to sharpen a spade bit from PIMO? I'm not quite sure which part to put a file to.


Thanks,

I just heard that the 2014 Chattanooga Pipe Show was canceled for September 27th. Hopefully they can have it on another date. I think it has the potential to grow into a really good show if enough people go to it.

Has anyone ever used alabaster in pipe making before? I have seen some Native American peace pipes that have alabaster bowls on them, but never in a traditional pipe. I was just wondering, thanks for any feedback.

ha. I will have to find another brides maid if I add you. Then we will have to redo the programs. The miss' wont like that. :) I actually haven't thought about what backy im going to use for them. They all smoke a variety of blends. My best man smokes northwoods. It's an english blend that we get fr...

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I went to my local cigar/pipe shop called Burns' Tobacconist and checkout what they had. I looked at some nice pipe lighters, but nothing really jumped out at me. I would have loved to make them all a personal pipe, but like I said before, I'm out of time. I ended ...

I am getting married in 3 weeks, and I have been trying to find something for my groomsmen. I don't want to get something corney; it needs to be something they can use and will use. The good part is that they all smoke a pipe, so I can buy them the same thing and it will work. I had though about mak...

All I can say, is you need to have a lot of patience. I have an independant 4-jaw chuck that I use to turn my bowls and shanks down with. I have removed one of the jaws to allow my briar block to fit in there. It usually takes a while to center the block up. I also have a 3-jaw self centering chuck ...

It is a helmet they sell for automotive racing.The pipe is kind of dark, I agree. I had a nice Orange swirl acrylic stem that I was making for it, but my 1/16" drill bit thought it would be a great idea to break off inside of the actylic whlie I was drilling it. So I went with a cumberland stem...

I finally mustered up enough courage to post some pictures of one of my pipes. The picture quality is not the best, so ya'll will just have to bear with me. I made this pipe for my brother and tried my best to make this pipe look like a Simpson Racing Helmet. My brother is really big into drag racin...

Alright. It's nearing fall of the year and I am looking for some good tobacco. Sort of the Octoberfest of tobaccos if you will, an octoberfest tobacco to go with my octoberfest Samual Adams. I have my Christmas blend, but I need something before that. Do y'all have any suggestions? I searched tobacc...

Do I need to use a delrin tennon with cumberland, or is cumberland strong enough by itself?

thanks. I appreciate the information.


Chris

What is cumberland? Is it a type of ebonite? All I see on PME's is that blue and black swirl. Where is a good place to get the brown and black cumberland?

What is brindle, and where can I buy some of this material? I have seen these types of stems and they are beautiful. Thanks

Are there ever any Pipe and Tobacco Shows in the Southeast? I guess any state below Kentucky is what i'm mainly interested in. Thanks.

Thanks Todd, that was what I figured, but just I wanted to make sure.

If I were to line a pipe cabinet with Spanish cedar, or make a box to hold my pipes in out of Spanish cedar, will that affect the taste of the pipe? Will it hinder it, help it, or do anything at all? I am mainly doing it just for the nice smell of spanish cedar, not really to keep the pipes humidifi...
