I *might* sneak in on saturday, but I can't say that for sure yet. Sunday I know I can't do.

I don't think I will be able to make it.

Yeah !

Sorry guys, I have to drop out. Been behind the last month or two and now playing catch up !

Charl, you are exactly right, I shouldn't try to speak in foreign measurements like "millimeter". Two of those things is way too short. More like a quarter inch or 57 rch's.

Make another one of these. Make 4 more of these.

Excellent work Dimitry. There is a little too much forward cant, bring it back about halfway between where it is, and being perfectly vertical. Another 2 millimeters of olive on the shank would be perfect. You want the wood of the shank to be about equal to the amount of bamboo before the first knuc...

I can calculate your age for you too if you'd like. Just send me your date of birth and bank account # (for verification, sometimes they ask).

Use each number once you big dummy.
You just use the college degree for decorating the hallway wall?

We had some idea...

George my air compressor motor gave out on me a couple years ago right before Chicago. I loaded up my cabinet and drove out to a family friends boat repair shop and borrowed an air hose. No clue on cfms but their setup is a 25hp motor and about a 500 gallon tank. You could watch the pressure gauge d...

Cool ! See you there.

This.

Sounds like I'm late to the party lol. It is a great site though, lots of the stuff we use.

Found a new website that had the best price on a couple things I needed. They have tons of drill bits, reamers in all sizes and tool blanks for metal lathe, sandpaper rolls, lots of odds and ends. Shipping is free over $100 and the stuff I bought was priced from decent to unbeatable. www.drillsandcu...

Glad you're back. That kind of thing hits you hard and can take years to get over. 2013 I lost my best friend, then my Father, then my Sister, had me out of step for a long time.

Yeah, I apologize if my answer had a little too much asshole to it, I was in a foul mood yesterday for unrelated reasons. You are really helpful with new people, and as Sas says I know you personally to be a good guy. BUT, you give all of your information as fact when you are still very much a stude...

I do admire how matter of factly you state your information, regardless of whether its bullshit or not.

Do you have a good source for those particular types of metal shank caps? Buy up a bunch of old military mount Dunhills and sand all the stamps off the caps. Then turn a tenon on the end of your pipe to fit the new silver work, voila. :thumbsup: Now, don't go telling everyone these kind of pipe mak...

There probably isn't a hell of a lot you can do about it one way or another, too moist or too dry, when shipping a pipe across the world. Yeah, I've tried to guess and compensate for what I think the weather will be like in another region, and it never seems to work out. Try to make it a little tig...
