Michael, I do not have a lathe for my own shop. However, my father has a Grizzly metal lathe at his place, ~10 minutes from where I live. So I do have access to it anytime I wish. That said, I've not yet used it for pipe making. Typically I drill on a press and then use a disc sander to do my shapin...

No problem, David - I'm the one who's feeling pain over this!

Anyway, I'm looking to buy a used PIMO tool. Anybody have one they're looking to offload? Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner, hope I'm not too late! I have a PIMO tool I'd gladly part with! Have the instructions, the hex keys for adjustment and 2 drill bits to drill the stem for the guide pi...

Ahright, well.. my new shop-bench is coming today, so I think I'll have to splurge and get the PIMO tool.

I appreciate the suggestion. That's not really something I'm considering at this time, however.

It does look like a nice tool, and your price is not bad. BUT, even at the discount it's quite a ways out of my budget for tools. I appreciate the offer, though.

For now, I'll have to limit myself to looking for one in the PIMO tool price range - preferrably used.

Haven't been around for prolly about a year (new job/town/house/baby), but I'm starting to reassemble my shop. I'm still an extremely rank amateur..

Thanks guys! I especially like the idea of using an organic stain (though I don't know if I'll make it that far).

Does anybody here know of a stain that would give the finished briar an orangesque, sort of pumpkin-colored look?

Good luck with the extensions, though i think the pipe looks fine as is..
