Scofield Cutty
Scofield Cutty
Here's my latest... I need to re-take the pics tho. What do you think? :think:
Yeah that was ultimately my lack of planning. That's my only regret with this pipe. The wall thickness is already 1/4" and the bowl 3/4". There wasn't much room to slim down after I realized that it was "oversized." This is the best I could do to fix it (i think). I still only have the one 3/4 reshaped bit of mine........ I wondered what the shank would look like smaller even tho I couldn't trim anymore off of the bowl... but i was afraid that it would whack out the balance.
Thanks for saying that tho. I was wondering if cutty's were smaller. I just don't really have anything to compare it to.

Kurt's right about people wanting cutty's. The one I made sold within three days of me delivering it to the Pipe and Pint. Sort of makes a guy feel good when the first pipe of the first shipment to the B&M sells so quickly.
While I agree with the comments from the other guys, that still is one fine looking pipe. You are doing very well with your pipe making.

Do be careful how much cant you put on it. A 7/8" chamber is quite large and can generate a *lot* of heat. More than about 15 degrees and you're asking for a "hot spot" on the back of the bowl (that is the end closest to the smoker). Cuttys and Horns are dangerous that way.KurtHuhn wrote:3/4" on that one. I'm going to make at least one in 7/8" here real soon now.bscofield wrote:Kurt, what was the diameter of your tobacco chamber?

So your walls, knowing that measurement, are what? 1/4" thick? Maybe a little smaller? How tall's your bowl? I'm just asking the questions to determine how diferent our's are in size and how much is camera work. Nice pics too, btw.KurtHuhn wrote:3/4" on that one.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. That's actually the reason why I'll be making one. I had a request for one in 7/8", but turned it down until I could determine how much the heat would affect the chamber walls.ToddJohnson wrote:Do be careful how much cant you put on it.

I seem to be making a lot of "experimental" pipes these days. As a result, my pipe rack is overflowing with great smokers. Two sides to that coin - it's great that I prefer my own pipes, but I haven't had an excuse to buy anyone elses in a long time.

They're about 1/4"-ish, on the small side of that. They vary in size from thinner at the top, to thicker toward the middle and bottom. I didn't really measure the walls at all, I just went with what looked right.bscofield wrote:So your walls, knowing that measurement, are what? 1/4" thick? Maybe a little smaller?

Hey Ben,
That is a very nice pipe. I don't have enough experience to give you a worthwhile critique of your cutty design, but it's a pipe and it looks very very nice. Good job, very cool looking pipe.
Oh and congratulations on the quick sell....and the making of 'some sweet moolah'.

Brendhain... good one. :thumb:Brendhain wrote:I just started reading the thread and ....... well......... are we still discussing pipes or are we standing around in the lockerroom???? :dunno:
I had to go back a few threads to find out what you were talking about... It's definately locker room talk and my pipe is definately bigger than Kurt's.
