2nd Dublin

[DaGamba]

Hi all,

here's my second attempt at a Dublin. This one I made for Nate as a trade between newbie pipemakers.

Fire away!

Try to clean up the lip button, it's rather big.
The flare on the fan tail has too much of a flare and is out of proportion.
The stem/shank junction should be flush.
Next time try to bring the cheeks in a bit more toward the bottom of the bowl.
All in all, nice second Dublin.

Thanx for your comments Bruce.

And excuse my infinite stupidity but I don't really understand what a fan tail is... And that would be good to know since it's out of proportion!

I don't believe you have infinite stupidity, but I know Thad Johnston deals with it daily!
The "fan tail" is the flare toward the lip button.

Bruce, you ignorant slut. A flair like that is commonly referred to as a "fish tail".

A fan tail is the rear end of a ship.

That explains why I didn't know what the f**k Bruce was talking about. That means that Bruce is the stupid one. Phuuu...
And in this case it's probably more correct to call it a whale tail....

Rod,
Since you have been so mean and dismissive, I am leaving this board, as of this moment. I need to check my email.

Personally, I like a bit more cant on my dublin bowls. The pipe in my avatar is an example, though I'm not sure it's visible. It's more of a straight-sided cone, though, so that may change things. What do the more experienced pipe makers say?

Rad's sister.

Well DaGamba, we have already discussed our own thoughts on it but I wanted to say, for a second dublin, I think it is fairly well done. And it smokes very well, so you can't argue too much with that! Nice work.

Ewww! She must be some looker if they resorted to calling her "Rod"...
