Thank you Jeremiah.

Eventually I got to finish the pipe without staining.

Hello guys, after only 1111111 attempts on making a straight grain billiard with grain orientation to the top, I'm close on achieving it.
Although natural finish is not a problem a possible DR-like finish will be great.

So any ideas on suggested under and over stain?

Pics or never produced...

Do we have any other link, name or email for fraised stummels?

I'm considering taking an order for a group order, and I would like to find what's out there.

Thank you,
Michail

Hahaha that was really funny!

That is one of the nicest billards Chris ever made.

The 20's spirit is here for good.

I didn't see any prices or way to order on their website, how can we buy them? Is there any online retailer maybe?

My sheets last about 90minutes of blast each, I don't know if it is cause of the small cabin height and the table cloth that I used need change in 20minute.

I think that I'm going to try the Mylar sheets and see if it work.

An update to the topic. I run out of the sheets that came with my blaster and I checked cyclone's site where they suggest Mylar sheets: http://www.cycloneblasters.com/partsandaccessories.html Have anyone tried those before? I found them here for 25$ for 50 sheets on the dimensions that I like. http:...

Well I didn't say that is not aesthetically pleasing, all I'm saying that either you can make a faux plateaux, a deep sandblast or whatever else to imitate something else just state it. It does matter how it is achieved.... Even if we consinder a fine and small blasting tip a rustication tool, it st...

I found out that some co-makers do great job with faux blasting. I really admire their skill and patience, and the result is more than great, it takes rustication to another level. The last few weeks though, I saw a guy that uses a sandbaster to track briar's ring grain, then deep rusticates and sel...

I bought my first spoon bits from Dimitris on late November on two different tapered shaped designs. I was really happy and used them on over 20 pipes each untill late January -note that today, they still cut as if they are new- when I ordered him two new spoons with large diameter. I prefer to use ...

Way to much rust on the bed. This can only be fixed with precision honing by specialist so it will cost a lot.

And I can't be sure if the tailstock will be aligned if a lot of material will be removed.

Gongrats there.

Lot of potential to become a great workshop.

Oxblood will be then.

I don't have green, so I can't try it.

Thanks a lot again,
Michail

Hello co-makers, the subject's title is what I want to know. I bought the fiebings dye set from PME sometime ago, and I've only used red on understain of rusticated or sandblasted pipes. I use it yesterday on a smooth after a black understain and I had a red-pink-violet contrast finish which ruined ...

Ingersoll Rand is the VFM for me, in Europe are the best choise along with Aquila compressors.

I would prefer them.

Well I owe much to this forum.

I've seen and read so many techniques that helped me develop my style of pipemaking.

I'm looking for spoon bits, that's up.
