Did everyone make Dublins for st.pattys day? nice job Scotties!

those light stains are hard to coat evenly, they like to lap try keeping the edge wet and work quickly

looks nice , bet you cant wait to cut some briar!

the Silent comedy was formed by two brothers here is there Bio....... Since 1996, brothers Jeremiah and Joshua Zimmerman have been fighting an uphill battle to pursue music. That year, their preacher father sold all of their possessions and launched the family on a worldwide adventure that included ...

that quite a journey for water, I have to say the open reservoir at the top make me nervous do you boil it before you drink it?

also was that the Silent Comedy you used for the music? if so Very fitting

looks like you did a nice job on creating those pies!

Yeah Brian I really like the rhodesians specially the one with the metal band....LOL

So far all my pipes I have made are for me so I guess they are all shop pipes

right now I have two buffing motors that run at two speeds 1450 or 3600 I think I am using 6" buffing wheels at 1450 some day I want to switch to the beal system, would there be a need to change the buffing speed? and if so what speed should I be shooting for?

Funny I just finished making a churchwarden for my wife and we used oxblood, and straight out it is kind of a wine color


Not a great pic sorry took a quick picture on a cell phone

the extension is mother of pearl acrylic

Thats pretty funny altho I am not up to speed with this whole Harlem shake thing... what is it and where did it come from?

Thanks for the advice Andrew but I am not sure what you mean by stem angle and shank angle, and why a belge over a cutty?

recently this shape has caught my eye, thought I would give it a try 5 1/2 inches long 2" high 1 1/2 wide chamber is 3/4 x 1 1/5 vulcanite saddle stem with a Bocote ring http://i69.servimg.com/u/f69/17/96/24/70/cuttyl10.jpg http://i69.servimg.com/u/f69/17/96/24/70/cuttyr10.jpg http://i69.servim...

Yeah it would be tough to use a bamboo skewer in the draft hole while she is spinning around on a lathe, plus I don't keep my compressor running and handy, I was mainly referring to drilling with a press, I always pre-check and mark my bit but I like the skewer as a back up, I stuff it in the draft ...

some of you guys have probably have done this but I put a bamboo skewer in the draft hole and when I drill the tobacco chamber I can tell when I hit the bamboo shewer

good Idea Alpha, I figured out why I was splitting the stem while boring it out with the tapered bit, the fluting on the bit doesnt run the entire bit so when the bit was in far enough it wasn't evacuating the shavings and was backing them up inside the airway, I thought I was pulling the bit out en...

I have yet to sand through into the airway but today as I was trying to bore out my premade vulcanite stem with a 11/64 tapered bit I drilled one through the side near the bit end and cracked one in the middle of them stem, am I boring to fast? or just not getting my bit centered in the chuck proper...

LOL, I was always told super glue was actually designed to be an emergency suture device, which is why it glues your fingers together in a fraction of a second, not that I have ever done that b4 ...

I have been looking at this shape and trying to study what makes a cutty, from what I have learned they are based on the clay pipe which is why some of them have the heel on the bottom, but what I have noticed about the shape is that the top of the bowl is either parallel with the shank or it is per...
