Re: Delrin tenon failure avoidance

If only we could just somehow cut the tenon from the same material as the stem.... My thoughts exactly! I sure hope one of you guys figures it out and shares it with the rest of us. All this glueing and threading and drying and cross-hatching just so George can repair your shitty Delrin tenon. Ther...

This was said before, there is not a teacher here been paid and you are asking the best to talk about your freehand pipe. I did the same and ...

Re: Dumb Questions About Plateaus

Look for pipes made from the respected guys here and I am sure you will see the difference. ( Talking about high grade pipes) .
The lines look like hand made sometimes.

( This is my opinion and is just to illustrate the difference) .

Re: PITH 2019 entry: Resin Plateaux Brandy

I like to have the heat feeling the bowl gives when smoking to control my pace. How does that goes with the resin?

Re: Sanity check critique desired (thanks in advance)

Let me share a story, I live in Brazil, where 200us is like 1000us for you guys. ( Our economy sucks). I went to Canada, and bought 1 pipe that had flaws from a montreal company, but it was cheap for a canadian and damm expensive to me. Few days latter, after trying that pipe, went back and got me a...

Re: Just Accidentally Sold my First Pipe

My pipes are 1000 times worse than that And i am giving them for free and people are loving it. I am not aiming to be a seller but i will be honest, if i can make a pipe like you did i would sell it.

The dowel has a piece of lag bolt shank screwed into the end, and is then shaped on the lathe with the lag bolt shank chucked in. I then slit the dowel with a saw to hold the paper. 40 grit center...
