Kurt I think you should put that red into use on your pipes! Simply stunning. I might have to break my rule about how much I spend on pipes! Well actually it's my wife's rule...

Trevor it's funny you mentioned a coral snake as I was a Gila Monster. Nice looking finish!

thanks for the offer but Kurt is making up a kit that I wanted and I already ordered the buffs and arbors. Also considering buying a Dremel and a flex shaft for it to make the carving go a bit quicker. It doesn't seem like the cost of a dremel is really that far off of good rasps. If I end up doing ...

I'm just guessing here, but the term good will gesture comes to mind. I'm in the retail business too (butcher) and if someone has a complaint about something we give them something. Usually it's something worth less than what the complaint was about, but we do it to show that we are doing our best b...

Sound like a workable solution? For little more than the cost of what a pipe shop might charge you, you can get a smal...

that's not a shameless plug! I had not noticed on your website that you sold predrilled kits. The ones with the tops turned look great since I'll be going at it with nothing but files and sandpaper. And given the reputation of your pipes it's safe to assume they are well drilled. I'll send you out a...

Predrilled kits

Well I am ready to take the plunge and try my hand at crafting a pipe. I have been reading here for quite sometime and had no real reason to make a post until I was ready. So what is the best source of the predrilled kits? Obviously the way they have been drilled is important. Penguin? American Smok...
