Tyler is Awsome!

And he's a pretty good teacher too.

After Tyler put on a demonstration on how to drill after shaping at the Midwest Meetup I was inspired to give it a try.

And thanks to Tyler's expert instruction I managed to drill my stummel perfectly on the first try!

Either that or I just got lucky. 8)

Thanks Tyler!

Now did you not drill one of the holes deep enough the first time, like he showed us?

Looks like nice grain on that one.

Buy a cheap set of pin gauges to use as jam chucks.

Not so fast, Todd. I'm pretty sure that only Rad can declare pipemakers to be awesome. Tools, cars, movies, etc, sure... we can do those, but pipemakers? Not so much. That requires vast experience, the ability to think like a brown trout, and ancient wisdom. (extra-heavy emphasis on the word "ancient")

So. Rad. Please consider all that is relevant in this matter, and make a ruling...

Is, in fact, Tyler awesome?

There was no declaration, it just evolved into the de facto state of affairs here on PMF. You and Bruce are the only founding member/long time carvers who still drop by regularly, and you are prettier than he is. Plus, you like to fish. See the logic?
...but I'm pretty sure Tyler is awesome.
After a particular (and unexpected, because it had nothing to do with pipes) conversation I had with him at Premal's last week, I agree.

I'm pretty sure that Tyler is the longest standing, founding member/long time carver here. He created the forums, and he drops by pretty regularly, even though he's some kind of badass oil field engineer now. :wink:

I learned to hand cut stems from Tyler's videos on his original site. :D
