Thanks for the info. I knew I could count on you guys.

OK, so I've been looking all over and can't seem to find it. My B&M stores around here don't have much of a selection, but I tried an oriental mixture from one and I rather enjoyed it. After hearing advice on the forum I'd like to try a number of new tobaccos, but everywhere I look, they're out ...

The motor arbor and backup pads I have available on my site are designed specifically for the 6" Abralon pads. I assume that since your backup pad you list on your website is 5" dia that the inch of overhang from the 6" pads allows you to get the tight corners, right? I probably shou...

thanks for the reply, that helps

Why not just pick up an old toaster from the local good will for $2 and set it up to 275-300 F for a few minutes. It would give a nice even moldability without risking overheating the stem like an open flame of 1200 to 1400F could do. My two cents.

That's sort of what I figured. Thanks

I've been eyeing some dunhill pipes with a really nice looking birdseye pattern and I'm wondering how I might achieve that myself. Is it a certain cut of the briar or is it more an orientation?

I'm just starting to assemble everything for a new workshop and before I decide on layout, dust collection, etc, I'd love to get some fresh ideas. So, if you have any pics of where the magic happens :wink: why not show them off here. I'm ...

From the looks of it, that leather isn't coming off. I agree, though, it is pretty sexy.

Those are some manly hands to have a rock like that. You sure they aren't yours?

well it just looks fabulous

I was thinking the same question. I'm thinking of buying a OneWay Talon for my shopsmith and making some wooden blocks to put on two of the face a la this website. I've seen some custom chucks with a pin in them. What is the pin for? Is it to center on the hinge between the draft hole and the bowl? ...

was that stem insert black and white ebony or zebrawood? I was thinking of using something similar.

I am overwhelmed by the vast knowledge that has accumulated on these forums. I believe that I must properly introduce myself. My name is Michael and I am new to the pipe-crafting art. I was recently offered the use of my wife's grandfather's shopsmith and a world of woodworking opened up to me. I ha...
