Is it too late to join? I would love to throw a pipe in the hat this year. Finally got moved into a space about a year ago where I can set a shop and work on pipes again. :takethat: Rick - Congrats on the addition! My .02 on the pics - Top pic is starting to get a "racing" style eggy bowl...

Welcome sir! As an entrance fee, I'm going to need you to send me a bottle of that mead you're talking about!

I also thought it was a pass at Scottie

The timing of this post couldn't be any better. My small grizzly 1x30 just crapped out after about 6 yrs and I'm looking to upgrade to the 1x42 as I love the 1" belt for certain aspects of stem work. The up side is that in the mean time I've been doing my stem work on my 24 grit resin backed di...

By definition the PITH is a learning exercise, so a commonality of problems faced---and their solutions explained here on the board---will apply to, and benefit, ever...

You've been added to the list.
