I just assumed you were as disorganized as I am. Glad to see someone responsible is in charge of this thing.

I wasnt knocking it.
This might be the most amusing forum on the interwebs.

I said return to *witty* rethoric .....

Should we add what our order was in the PM, to keep Wayne from having to read through all of the posts and match everything up between the post and the pm ?

Do they have blue tails?

Witty rethoric aside, a blue tailed skink is almost certainly Eumeces Inexpectatus.

You may now return to your clever banter.

Stunning work ! I personally dont like how tall the shank is, but I'm not sure you could have done everything you did on the bottom if the stem and airway were lower. Absolutely beautiful result though, really a work of art without losing the character of a traditional shape. So many far out "a...

Does being delusional actually disqualify you from pipemaking ???
Because I dont want to spend all this money on tools, just to find out later I'm disqualified on a technicality

Glad you made it through, glad PMF is back up and running.
I didnt realize how much I liked hanging out here.

I think negative comments are great for pointing out what needs to be fixed. At the same time, on the positive side, I like that you're stepping outside of the box on the second two pipes. I dont think what you came out with works really well, but I think with time you could do that and have it work...

Mike, did you mean to type "I know beginner" ??

Awesome news, thanks Wayne !

I see a cutty with the stem facing the other direction. Grain would be perfect, but the shank may be a little short.

I've found them in the $199-$250 range everywhere I looked

Thanks for the advice Wayne. I have read and reread a couple hundred posts here, its still tough to put it all together before I get hands on experience with the tools. So, it sounds like for $250 or so, the Oneway with tower jaws would be the best choice for now. Thats good, because the more I thin...

I'm 100% fine with that, of course nobody gives a crap what I think, so........

Interesting answers, thanks. I would definitely go with a metal lathe, but I have a really small wooden shed for a shop. I dont think the plywood floors would hold up to a good metal lathe, but maybe I'm wrong?I bought a JH Lowe tenon turner from Simeon awhile back, so I think I can make a midi work...

I'm in the process of tooling up, and I have a question on the best way to spend the next $500. I dont have a lathe yet, but will have the cash set aside for a used Delta or Jet midi, just waiting for the right deal. My question is, should I spend my cash now on a custom Lathe Chuck, and a couple of...

Put me down for 1 Black 3 Cumberland.

Say what you want to say, but the bulge on the back works for me, I really like this pipe. I dont see it so much as a bulge in the middle, but more an indentation at the top. And if you look at it again, it really looks like an old fashioned "leg pipe". I like the stem here too. The stain,...

Walle, that blast of yours amazes me, dont know how you do it. Are you the only one who knows how its done, or is there someone else out there I can kidnap and force to give up the secret ?
