Thanks for the link, a great read.

This subject has been thrashed and trashed many a time here on this board. Oh yeah, I know! I was just personally interested to hear what each person was doing and what the current 'climate' for tenons was. Purely out of curiosity. I think I'm going to keep learning how to turn an integral tenon fo...

I've been out of the game for a bit, but I was just starting to turn integral tenons right before I went on pipemaking hiatus. I was searching through some old posts to refresh myself on things like bit profile and whatnot when I started coming across posts suggesting a lot of people, including some...

I shelved pipemaking for a few years to deal with the general business of life. I'm looking to start again this spring. I decided quite a f...

I'm in.

Very nice. Easy enough to navigate and nice pictures of the pipes and shop.

Nate told me he was a Rocket Surgeon...

Wow, NICE.

It's really nice to see you back!

I saw this one for much much less, but it seems a little too good to be true what with all the included jaws: http://www.pennstateind.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PS&Product_Code=CMG3C&Category_Code=economy-4-jaw-chucks I have the other one from Penn State, the Utility Gr...
