With my hand... Simple twisting action... Just don't over think the process ....I usually go over it a few times until I get the results I want

Here a pic of one of my tools... The rest of a shank from a spade bit

Congrats ryan .... The new shop is definitely bigger than the current one

My intent isn't to argue anything. I just thought it would be a good discussion. Maybe argument was too strong a word... Discussion then... Let's see how this plays out ;-) Seamonster ... Nice little jaunt down the path of discussion .. Have a great Saturday folks... Almost bed time for me.. Lookin...

I'm not sure what you want to gain from the argument Wayne... Ain't no embracing anything and faking the other.. Hogwash .....But maybe I look at the world through different eyes... You either shot for a classic within proportion shapes... Symmetric ... Or shot for an exaggeration of set standards.....

James, which part of the shank would you have rounded more? Are you referring to the back, bottom edge of the shank? it made sense to me .. hahaha... no the bottom back end .... but like I said, its more preference.. I like what you did w/the pipe... my drawing took too much off, but you get the gi...

nice one wayne... the only critique I can offer is why didn't your round the shank end a little more... like 2mm .. more preferential than anything else

SketchUp 8 works fine for me

Not just gray... Many different shades and colors are used... Driftwood is the finish not the color ... Several guys have done it.. And know how to do it.... Including yours truly

I agree with Bruce... I saw the pipes on SH table in Vegas... But this one is especially sharp looking

outstanding.. win... win

You gotta admit it's better than the shed in VA... Plus probably warmer in the winter

answer is yes... I use mainly metric drill bits...

logically thinking though.. .when you get 190 to 250 pin gauges between .251 and .5 .. the answer is of course

thanks folks...

wayne.. I could almost say the same about the pics from the US shows.... at least I'll get to spend a few days with some of you in Vegas...

.. a little extra for you girls on this forum...yes we have shows over here also... see some of you in Vegas ............ Well it was a great weekend again in and around Speyer.. as many of you have probably seen on FB there are several posts of the pictures from the show.. but Jurgen "Bibi&quo...

very thought provoking.... I was talking to a fellow over here about the same thing a few weeks ago... as he was/is having problems setting his current prices... and my response was more or less do you want sell one or two pipes or develop a relationship with a customer base.. today its hard to do.....

What "notch" are you guys talking about? Also, what is the proper gap between mortise floor and tenon? When you have a bent pipe, in order to drill some you have to 'notch' the airway as it is not on center. You want to leave a gap between the end of the tenon and the bottom of the mortis...

Of course he liked it... It's from his son, and is a nice looking pipe to boot

Yep.. Nice pipe ryan
