1949 Craftsman metal lathe
Well, I'm selling my smaller lathe. I don't quite remember the model number. The lathe is in good shape, with a new 4 jaw independant chuck and new tool holder. I have a few bits too. Tailstock has a jackobs chuck. Let me know if you're interested.

Re: Rhodesian vs Bull Dog
As I remember, a bullcap or bullmoose generally has a more jutting chin, but may not have anything in common with a bulldog.
Rhodesian - round. Bulldog - not round
I've even heard some pipe freak out there is making some junky thing he calls a Radisian. Dude is a loon!

An Anne Julie inspired pipe
Well, i finally took another swing at a floral themed pipe. The pipe came out really well. My best yet. Not perfect though. The silver isn't quite a flush fit. Just a hair off here and there. The stem could be a bit longer. Ohh! One thing i did learn, when using a colored , carved stem, make sure th...

Re: New pipe - sort of a brandy
Sell schmell. Even if you do sell a few pipes, you'll not make up your costs. Hold off until you're ready.
When I retire, in about 30 years, then maybe I'll be ready. Maybe.
Until then, its just a hobby, and it comes with associated expenses like any hobby.

Re: the "Rose"
I'm not too fond of the shank and stem, but the bowl shaping is simply awesome. Just wonderful. i totally love it. The shank and stem seem too busy for the bowl, to my eye.

Re: Still Trying to Expand My Knowledge Base
I have one of those flip books, like kids have? Where you have the head of one animal, body of another and tail of a third. Except mine has bowl, shank and stem. I just toss the book in the air and make what comes up.
Actually, its not really a bad idea...

Re: Wood question
the solution is not to add "strength", but to add "flexibility. Look at the shaft of a hammer; one would recommend steel, because this is strong ... just try it and you 'll know why not :-) ... or oak, or ebony .... all wear resistant, but brittle, so there's not absorbtion of vibrat...

Re: On buttons and things
Wuite to the contrary. Our preconceptions of Ahab as a vengful nearly psychotic character lead us to see him as either of lesser import or down right bad - I am refraining from saying evil. But if you approach the book from the point of view that this man has been wronged and is doing his best, in h...

OK, so I know that some of you guys have a bit of knowledge about more than just briar - unlike me. So that catapult my son and I made is way cool. We had to add a longer throwing arm. Unfortunately, all I has was plain of pine 2x4s. The longer arm got alot more distance, but the after the first few...
