I need to make or buy some different type of jaw to grab a block

Nice work, I like mine with a little bend in them ok thanks

there is something wrong with me cause I think the older the lathe the more awesome it looks.

I just bought a 9x19 grizzly that I am going to try and use I also have a wood lathe I was thinking of getting a chuck for it and using that for the stummel and the 9x19 for stems

the Xikar my kids got me for Chirtmas took some getting used to, but now I got her dialed in, it seems to be pretty close the same as a match IMO

Nice! this is the 12x20?

thanks Sas!

yeah that would be awesome Walt, right now I use a saw blade on my dremel to start the slot and then make the funnel with 1/16 tapered diamond tip on my dremel and work it back and forth till I get the funnel and then I clean it up with micro files and then fold up tiny pieces of 400 and 600 grit to...

I have a bunch of old nimrod lighters, I havent used any, but they are cylindrical in shape and have a wick like a zippo and the lid slides to open and close

I picked up this little guy up today it seems like it will be just big enough to do what I want it to do

just making a slot seems easier...LOL I am very impressed, awesome ingenuity

Yeah the Tenon cutter by pimo or at PME Vs using Derlin

Thanks

just wondering what you all think is the best way to go and why
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the advice! I was going for a horn shape, I was afraid if I took more from the shank there would be too drastic of a transition from the bowl to the stem and it would look like a spindly horn, I was thinking of what a steer horn looked like when I was shaping it. The stem is from PME all ...

so lets hear it fellas what have I done wrong and what needs improved? beisdes wiping the finger smudges off of the stem b4 I take pics http://i16.servimg.com/u/f16/17/96/24/70/hornle10.jpg http://i16.servimg.com/u/f16/17/96/24/70/hornle11.jpg http://i16.servimg.com/u/f16/17/96/24/70/hornri10.jpg ht...
