Can I still participate? If so then I'm in.

Right now I have my workshop in my basement, but I am moving and being forced to use the garage. I live in Ohio where we have cold winters and hot summers. The garage is unattached from the home and not climate controlled. I am wondering what effects if any this will have on my tools, briar, and pip...

I want to make a white stem but I am not sure what material would be best. If acrylic is my best option would I want to make an integral tenon or use white delrin. Also, Im wondering if there is a blue leather dye or wood dye. I want to make a blue pipe where the grain can still be seen with a white...

I was looking at some J Alan Twitter pics and I noticed on his bench he has a drill in a vise with a cork on the drill. Just wondering what that is used for.

I really don't like to critique but that pipe looks too large and heavy.

You could leave a little extra material on the rim of the bowl and the face of the shank, then just plug up the holes. I was thinking of making a larger tumbler maybe like a five gallon bucket so the medium that you use in the tumbler kind of falls on top of the stummel and beats it up good.

I didn't know that. I though I had an original idea. Damn.

I wonder if you could fashion a stamp from old typewriter keys.

I wonder if damp wood would set it off.

Mike If someone disagrees with my methods of doing anything in my life, I usually try to prove them wrong. You should take some time and develope your boring bar method, then when you perfect it you can say I told you so. Just do it instead of arguing about it and getting on everyones bad side. If y...

Has anyone used this to make a stem and if anyone has can it be bent.

I know I messed up the drilling a little bit. I used a forstner bit to drill a pilot hole then I used a ground spade bit for the bottom. What I didn't realize was I had taken too much off of the spade bit while sharpening it and it didn't get rid of the remainder of the hole. So, at the bottom of th...

I posted my second pipe in the pipe in the hat section. I didn't know if I could transfer the pics here. I would really like some feedback. So, if you get the chance please check it out.

Thank you
