That is a wonderful job well done Sir.
Ok what's the movie got to do with the pipe?

Ounce again George has pointed out two things 1)he says that you haven't nailed it.( I'm not an authority on this shape
But obviously George is) 2) You are not Tom Eltang. Bah Humbug remind you of anybody?

Call Mike at the Tacoma co. Just use that as a search His company specializes in blasting equip.
He is a pneumatic engineer and will tell you exactly what you need

Any saw as long as it's American Steel

I have a historical picture of Lincoln at Gettysburg and Rod can be seen in the foreground

That stem Chuck is cool I got one it still works great Albeit most people didn't have different size lathes.
Same ca be done on a mini lathe

You can buy a plug cutter for very short money I have two 1/4 and 5/16"
They have gotten pipemakers out of trouble many times Also did you drill the chamber on a press or lathe?
There seems to be some wobble in the Chuck easily adjusted.

Nicely done Bruno, the button needs to be evened out just a touch

Hi all just curious how you all make diamond shank? There's is no wrong way.
Do you turn you shank round and file/sand it flat or maybe you start with a square
Just curious what's your preference.

Not for nothing I don't know how this applies to you but are you a supermarket or a tool and dye maker?
Often times I put my pride aside and let the machinery that has the tooling and knowledge to do it
Most of the time I find I save $$$ and aggravation.(just one man's opinion)

George,you're not mixing things up using an outboard motor are you?
That's not like you at all

Todd,Lets buy out his widow.
You in?

Todd, know the name, not so much about him. But one thing I
know is that he's dead.

Has anyone taken over production and distribution of Upshall since Barry Jones retirement?

It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Bjorn Thurmann truly one of the greats.
These world class pipes the true artist would make with great care and humility were a treasure to us all.
Please remember him and his family in your thoughts today

Point well taken Sir

Hello all I just purchased a millitary mount kit works great
My question is when it comes to the brass ring.I know it's used to reinforce the mortice.
However is this 100% necessary? I've never seen them on older millitary mounts like
Dunhill or Charitans.

Anyone going to las Vegas????
