Re: my third pipe complete
Sorry, slowroll! Was in a rush and didn't explain better. Exactly what kamkiel et al said. Plus ring to be flatter, get rid of toolmarks and scratches, bowl/shank sharper etc. Basically just neaten it up. The straight line thing? Something is off and the human eye can see the smallest deviation. One...

Re: 2 jaw chuck problem question
My Nova Chuck also had a bit of play like that. My machinist friend just made a slot into each jaw, so that they sit closer to the body of the chuck. The Nova will eventually wear out its scroll ring, resulting in the jaws opening more until eventually it will have to be replaced. That doesn't mean ...

Re: Temporarily Attaching Bamboo
I normally use a tiny spit of a drop of CA on the stainless steel, not the face. But only if it is really needed. Most of the time the fit is tight enough to keep the bamboo in place while shaping.

Three meters and weighing two tons might just be overkill for a pipe!

Re: Crosspost from Facebook: First Non-kit Pipe
