THANK YOU DOC AITCH! i'm sorry for my late answer but i didn't see that you had answered me. Thanks a lot, really helpful!

Good morning, Artemisius here. I have another noob question.
Can you explain in detail how you make a spoon bit from a paddle bit? My biggest question is: how do i have to sharpen it? which side?
sorry for my bad english , and thanks to everybody.

with metal pipe ring i mean what we italians call "veretta", you can write it on google images if it is not clear in english. again, sorry for my english

I don't have a lot of equipment. Just a chuck attached to a drill, and a lot of hand tools. Do you have any suggestions on how to make a metal pipe ring with this poor equipment... :) Sorry for my bad english and thanks to all the people that will contribute to answer. PS. i still don't have a lathe...

as always, you're very helpful, thank you DocAitch. Right now i'm making an octagonal billiard, following youre advice on how to make one. Well'se how it goes. Thank you!

After i've used the dye ( usually fiebing's), the colours on the pipe are always opaque. What can i do to improve the colours and to make them appear less opaque? Do i need to buff the pipe? How?

thank you DocAitch !!!!

thank you DMI, cool IDEA. Since i'm a total noob, can you send a picture of the way in which you glue the washer? Anyway, thank you

I've just purchased some fiebing's leather dye. I am wondering if it is supposed to be used as it is or if it needs some dilution. If it needs dilution, what do i use ( i'm guessing alcool, but, if you can, be precise with the kind of alcool) and how much?
Thank you

I knew that the question was broad, but i wanted to see if someone more experienced than me could help, perhaps i was looking for some basic principles on the shape of a billiard. By the way, thank you all for your help

thank you, this time for real right now i don't have enough money to buy a lathe, so i will try by hand

very useful, thank you

...

Can you explain in depth how you shape a billiard pipe? I don't have a lathe, so if you want to help me, try to explain the procedure for people who only have saws, files and rasps. Thank you

thank you!!

After sanding how do you clean your pipe and stem from dust particles of wood and methacrylate?

first of all, thank you. Can you please be more precise? i'm a newbie

i'm asking this because i've had the green problem with double staining. I'm looking to find two types and brands of color that will not mix. Thank you anyway

Can you name the precise brand of the paint that you use for double staining? Thank you!!
