What's wrong Bruce? You have a problem with America?

It was my first attempt to stamp a pipe. I have a nice big ugly stamp made that I'm still figuring out.

I like the general shape, symmetry, and finish. My only criticisms are that the top of the shank rises from about 1/4 of the way from the stem to the bowl and that the transition is not crisp. I would try to make the top line of the shank more parallel with the bottom (with a slighter taper and a s...

My attempt at a pot as well as trying to panel. I started this pipe before the PITH, and with being busy and all, just got around to finisjing it up. Don't be appalled by the crappy grain. As usual, comments and critques are welcome and appreciated. http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/kjkktk123...

I'd open my letters with it!

These pipes with thin spots are a great learning experience. You could smoke the pipe as is and see if/how quickly it will burnout on that thin spot. You could also try putting a bowl coat in and seeing how that works. I have a pipe I made (smoking it right now) that was so thin in one spot it was t...

That is really cool!

Here's mine. I had to stop making it back in the beginning of July because of work and getting ready for my trip back home. Hopefully the list gets made quickly because I am leaving to go back to China on the 16th. http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/kjkktk123/IMG_20160704_193151_1467634279299....

I'm finished

Get a child (or, I suppose, in Bruce's case: a grandchild). You'll soon get to appreciate good kiddie movies! :lol: That is probably the main reason I haven't watched it. The other problem I have in China is all movies used to be "free" online and easy to find. Now they make you pay (can ...

I know. Crazy, right?

Crap, now I have to go watch kung fu panda to try and understand Sas's quote.

I've finished. I leave China on the 14th and the pipe will come with me.

Lint and shoddy photography are what inspire me. And you thought you were encroaching on my safe space with non-trigger-warned microaggressive hate speech dressed up as sarcasm, didn't you? Or respect the divergence of our childhood privilege zones? Well, my equanimity remains unfazed. The spirit t...

That's awesome!

Or, you could just cut some lengths of Delrin rod to handle length, drill a 1" deep axial hole that's slightly smaller in diameter than the OD of the blade, and screw these it in: http://www.ottofrei.com/Store/Saw-Blades-and-Saw-Frames/Mono-Tooth-Wax-Sawblades-125-890.html Wrap the handle with...

Tobacco as currency? Your vision of the apocalypse sounds a lot like a cliche prison movie haha. I'm planning a trip back home in July. Previously, I haven't had the chance to try a lot of blends, and it looks like Scottie and Tyler have the post apocalypse 5100 market locked down. I need to decide ...

Hate it when that happens

After the tb dog was introduced into this thread, "shitstorm," is finally starting to make sense.

I'm still in. Just need to finish up some non-pipe stuff that has bogged me down last April, then I'm going to start.

IAWK You all are being douchey just to be douchey (and thats two uses of a word that ain't even a word). The guy made a pipe that made someone happy. Why do you care how he did it? Could you do it better? Maybe. Does it matter? Not to his happy customer. also I'm two beers in :lol: One of my secret...
