Re: Uneven Natural Edge - Freehand(?)

Maybe I am speaking from inexperience, but it is more of a "hey that looks nice" with free hands. Obviously there is a minimum and maximum for each pipe but I dont think there is any math involved really. As much as you can know the science, it is still an art and up for interpretation. Be...

Re: Well... lets give it a go...

I totally agree. I really want to give the bowl more shape on its on rather than flowing straight into the shank like it does. Yeh, but at the same time the stem should be thinner, which is fine since you need some serious sanding on the stem so maybe thin it out a bit like this.. http://i27.photob...

Re: Uneven Natural Edge - Freehand(?)

Does seem sort of heavy. I would love the pipe to have a thinner shank. I can see the possible shape of the bowl peeking out underneath

Re: Well... lets give it a go...

Hey man, send me a pm, fellow young pipe smoker here. That is a really good start but you can easily make it a great start by taking away some more material on the back there.

Re: VaVa and silver

I aggree with Sas. Also, it seems like since the bowl itself is so wide, a shorter stem might look better.

Re: Why briar is the "best" pipe wood.

It's..... been done, unfortunately. http://www.tophatcigar.com/a.cfm/Pipes/Yello-Bole-Pipes/Standard-TP7384.html Brylon pipes have gotta hold the record for "most unloved by everyone". Wow! I was totally kidding, dude! That's too funny. I have, of course, seen and heard of pipes made of &...

Re: Open Letter to New Pipe Makers

That's the biggest problem with the interweb - people think they can check their manners and courtesy at the door. This is so true, and as a new member myself, it is sometimes rough at first to get used to some of the joking on the forum, i.e. figuring out when general banter is occurring and when ...

Re: Ever seen something like this? Help me out...

yeah, i was thinking the same thing for spray cans that are compressor charged for paint. But is the nozzle set up different so that all the air would come out too fast? Would it come out really fast since it is unhindered; as it is built to be?

Also, what about something made out of one of those mini tanks for a paintball gun with a simple hose and nozzle attached?

"old world" pipes

I have become really interested in this style of pipe, and was wondering what the consensus was on the for smokability and ease of cleaning. I am mostly referring to those that are all briar

The thing about douchebags is: even if they are gross and sort of awkward to think about, they ultimately serve a purpose and make the world a better place.

Pipe Clubs

Lately I have been trying to educate myself in the realm of tobaccos and pipes, but I feel like trolling countless forums, though it has exponentially increased my knowledge, can only do so much. Luckily I have found a club relatively close to home when I go back for the holidays from college, and i...

Re: Why I build big pipes, or, "The Flavor Zone"

On the topic of big pipes, I definitely have to concur even as a novice. I am still smoking my first pipe (though I just landed an estate lot of 8 briars, mostly unsmoked, for 20$) which has a very small bowl. I feel like just as I am starting to enjoy the taste it is either over or I am smoking ash...
