your pipes look more gooder than they did before... this makes me happy. keep it up dude.

oh yeah... forgot to mention that i got the powdery drilling too, no matter how sharp the bit. although when turning i got ribbons. all in all, sounds like your experience with the stuff is similar to mine. defiantly not recommended.

yeah, i got a rod of it, and i don't plan on getting any more. for the most part it works the same as SEMs regular black, but it doesn't buff up as well, and if you do manage to a decent shine out of it, it dulls rather quickly in my experience. that and it gets black shit all over the place.

i don't see much about a countries economic policies in that comment.

sheesh... i'm all about candor in discussion of QC and common production practices of some factories from this region or that... but i think the line of crazy racist shit was crossed about a page back. lets reel it in, eh?

FWIW... they are making the Neptune and Icarus pipes in Nashville if I understood Todd correctly, and he is currently not producing any pipes in China.

B. COME BACK JAY!!!!!!!!!

you are doing lots of things right... each one is a little better than the last IMO. i'd say maybe you should back off the inlays and extensions for a bit and focus on refining your shaping and stem work. also... for the gratuitous redundant sam harassing kiel part, i agree... if you were back in th...

I am living in China so the materials and tools I can find feel quite restricted. dearest kiel, i imagine this must be frustrating... so, i recommend you relocate from china to the US of A. when you arrive i then invite you to use my tools and shop and i will also buy you a sammich. you're welcome.

newbie? I thought I woulda graduated to newish by now.

Thanks Sasquatch, PremalChheda, sam a, and Nate for welcoming me to the site. After I learn how to make pipes, I will learn how to post cool .gifs like sam a so I can further express myself via pictures that can move a little. http://img.pandawhale.com/post-23470-Jeremiah-Johnson-HD-gif-Imgur-2LEp....

hi kryle.

I really want to try some Juma- if for nothing else, I'd love it for accent rings. Good info from George on buffing vs. sanding- it's something I've become more and more conscious of lately. Would you happen to have an extra two inches of Juma you could send me so I could play with it? :D pm me you...

too many notes.
