Outside the Comfort Zone
I'm starting to experiment a little. I think seeing Jeff Gracik's pipes in person gave me some inspiration. So I thought I'd give some of those "creases" a go. Here's my latest run. In this case, the crease serves to delineate between the straight grain on the side and the birdseye on the ...

Messages like that crop up from time to time. Always someone looking for a handout. You'd think they must be successful now and again if they keep at it. I usually respond and tell the person that if they'd like one of my pipes, then they'll have to pay for it as I am a starving artist and can't aff...

Ckr has the idea. I don't think this was to reinforce the tenon as it is pretty beefy at .40. And it went deeper than that. I'll try another description. Pick up a stem. Now drill a countersink into the tenon that extends past it another 1/2 of an inch. Thread in a 1/2 long piece of brass rod. Then ...

Stem Plumbing
A pipe (the maker will remain nameless) showed up in the mail today. Didn't pick it up until I got home from the show. Anyway, the airway in the stem was about 1/8 of an inch, if that. So I went to drill it out. Drill bit got in part way and brass shavings started coming out :shock:. It got worse. A...

Kurt, not to hijack your thread or anything (great looking knife by the way), someone mentioned briar scales for the handle.
Well, I tried making some briar pistol grips for my revolver. Liked them so much I've set up shop and am now making them for sale. http://www.jsgrips.com

I'm using a CA glue similar to the one that was posted above. It's supposed to be flexible and for gluing plastics. They carry it at a local woodworking shop here. Go figure? Anyway, I've used it to glue delrin into briar, lucite, and acrylic. Haven't had a single failure. What I don't use it for is...
