Indeed that was a blast! Thanks to Premal and the Smokers Haven crew for inviting, and putting up with a shop full of pipe makers. It was great seeing friends and meeting new ones. My mouth still feels like 180 grit.

I've had the same problem in the same areas that your describing before with my tripoli wheel. I think my problem was being a little too aggressive and buffing against the edges. Now when I'm buffing the button or any other hard line, I buff following edge or I'll buff with the wheel coming off of ...

Sounds like a dandy old time! You can count me in.

I think your dates might be mixed up. Do you mean Sat. March 16th and Sun. March 17th?

I'm interested in both kinds of bamboo and some horn. Probably in the ballpark of $200.


Abe

Very cool Chris!

One question, where'd you get that fancy indicator you have mounted to the tailstock?


Abe

You could always get rid of the lathe and buy a 5 or 7 axis milling machine. All you have to do then is just press go and bam you have a pipe and stem. But really, what everyone else said.

Well, I finally put together a website. Check it out if you'd like. Your thoughts are always welcome.

I'll be there.



Abe

Thanks guys.

Charl, I agree with your two observations. The back of bowls always seems to be a tough spot for me, though I'm slowly getting better with that area.

Abe

Not too shabby for your first billiard, now go for another one.

Abe

Very nice Wayne!


Abe

Great pipe!

I agree with you Wayne, I love to use some of the colored cumberland myself. But, I just can't seem to find the right combination. Maybe I'll try to get some pointers from Nate.


Abe

Let us know how it does!




Abe

How thick are your mouthpieces just behind the buttons? They look like they could be a touch thinner. Other than that these pipes are super nice. Right behind the button the stems measure .150" +/- .005" I'd like to make them thinner, but I feel that I need to work on getting the stem slo...

Thanks Guys!

Haven't posted any of my work in a while. I'm still around, mainly just lurking. Let my know your thoughts. http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff422/lahherb/abe022.jpg http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff422/lahherb/abe023.jpg http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff422/lahherb/abe024.jpg http://i1...

Yippee!



Abe

This is a pretty good program. I keep on hoping to get a good view of Hatfields pipe. The pipe looks like a Belge or Cutty to me.
