Ok guys this one I'm not too proud of. However it is deff one of my better ones. The more pipe making I do the more I realize about the procedures an about the frustration as well as the precision. With all that said I am having a great time creating all these shop pipes of mine. Lol however I do ha...

Contact VT FreeHand go to his facebook page an like an share it. Send him a message through facebook. That's what I did. He worked extremely well with me when I was in same position as you.

Yes I will get a units address. Shouldn't be too hard to find. I am also willing to contribute a little as well. I can pay for a kit or two from steve. Who will be the mailing the package?

Give us your units address. You guys will get some packages for sure.

Do you guys have anyone specific you're sending pipes to? Drew Estate works with an organization called cigars for warriors, they send care packages to troops on combat zones. If you guys do not have anyone specific you send to I can reach out to their board to see if there has been any pipe or pip...

Im using files an sand paper only.

Attached are pics of the current pipe I'm working on. Considering the other pipes I have made, I knos this is no were near perfect. In fact for most this is probably your definition of a shop pipe. How ever. Im extremely proud of my progress in such a short period of time. Thanks to this forum with ...

This pipe I'm working on now is by far my best one to this point. However. The stem and shank are not flush (not even close) but that's something I'm gonna have to work on. When pipe os finished ill post that way you can all yip an yell an holler an tell me everything I did was wrong lol

I took a broken broom stick, cut a piece a foot long. Filed one end to fit 3/4in bowl an the other I will file to size when need be. But clamp that suck to vise behind the tension bar an it works great!

I have looked through this forum. Im not sure if i just cant find what I'm looking for or maybe the info was deleted in that crash? Either way. Im currently on the final stages of sanding my pipe (without stem attached). I was wandering. At what grit sand paper should I start sanding the stem?

Lance

Anyone ever try that with a block of briar? Lol I can only imagine blocks of briar flying all over the shop.....

Lance

That's a darn good looking pipe. Great work!

Lance

Sometimes drinking and carving leads to too much carving an not enough drinking....

Lance

Sas maybe you wanna collect the pipes ? I can give you units address to send package to an I can send you some money to help with shipping. Either way lemme know. Its deff something I would like to do.

Lance

Ah gotcha. Well maybe someone else can help orchestrate it. I dont mind helping in anyway. But completely understand... maybe someone who has everyone's trust could recieve all the pipes....

Lance

I like the rustication. Gives it a personal unique feel to it.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/05/peny9ave.jpg Idk if this will work but I took a scrap bowl of briar that I had an shaped it to fit into a 1inch drill whole in a piece of birch. Pressed it in there with my hand press.. let set over nite. I tight it every time I woke up. Then filed the top down. T...

Well said evan!

Ok guys. I have the address of the unit currently in Afghanistan. Lets get this up an running. I will pay for postage to ship pipes over seas an through customs. Not sure if you guys all wanna make an deadline date for everyone to make new pipes or what you all thought about donating some shop pipes...
