Ahh, I was thinking of a brass ring insert in the face of the shank, not a brass tenon band.Frank wrote:Stephen, I can't quite picture what you're describing.

I really like bulldogs too, I think they're an excellent exercise in pipe making and they are easily tweaked to show the style of the pie maker making them. The only critique I have for the pipe is that I personally like a thinner bit and maybe because of the length I might have flared out the bit t...

I use both precision ground forestner or a pilot point bit depending on the circumstance. The Pilot points make it really easy to center the draught hole in the center of the mortise: http://www.homedepot.ca/wcsstore/HomeDepotCanada/images/catalog/36f565e8-b361-4814-a026-4415dd0a5b67_3.jpg The Pilot...

You can do shank adornments on a Taig, it just takes a bit more of a round about route. I inlay woods on my stems and shanks pretty much the same way. First I chuck the first layer of wood or stem material, and face it on the lathe. From there I glue the next layer on without removing the first from...

I have a goal that I try to hit every month as far as income is concerned, but I've known for quite some time that I need to keep better records and be a lot more aware of where my time and money is going. I'd be interest...

I've never had a problem with a Delrin tenon into a Delrin sleeve. I've been making my pipes that way for a few years now. http://www.downiepipes.com/faq.html Hope that helps a bit.
