Lol I just came across it on my laptop a few weeks ago too and watched it again.

I lay down blue painter's tape, then the electrical tape over that. Never had an issue.

I'll expand a little on what's already been pointed out. When I started really focusing in on my button work, I used a digital calipers to dial in all the dimension of the button. This helped me find dimensions that worked, and be able to replicate them consistently. I find that front to back thickn...

I feel like the overside of the stem follows a line but the underside lacks a bit? You’re on the right track there. The side view looks like that bottom line is a bit flat. If you look at Wayne’s examples, you’ll notice a constant curve. Those are great examples that would be good to reference as y...

A while back (a long while back), I posted a how-to for grinding down silver and deming (reduced shank) bits. Essentially, you put them in a lathe and grind them down with an angle grinder. Dangerous, yes. Fun, no. Effective? You bet. Once profiled you go back with a grinder and make a relief behin...

Top of the list.

And here's the list! Just to reiterate, you send your pipe to the person below you and receive a pipe from the person above you. Examine, inspect, and smoke the pipe, then offer an honest, productive, and respectful critique to the person who made it. The pipe is yours to keep. If you have any issue...

At 2200, that's 10 pm for you civilians, I'll be generating the list from random.org via a live video on the FB Pipe Makers page. I'll post the results here afterwards.

That's so hawt!!!

Alright, I've gotten all the replies. I'm off to the gym to get swole, but I'll generate the list when I get back. Probably around 10 tonight.

I'm just waiting on 1 more reply. As soon as I hear back from them, it's on!

You’re dead to me.

Should be done by the 7th, and I’ll be generating the list on the 8th. I’ll need a confirmation that you are done either posted her or in a pm to me so I know to include you.

Looking like an extra week might give some folks the breathing room they need to get their pipe done. We’ll go with that if there’s no objections. The 7th it is, and I’ll generate the list sometime on the 8th.

All right folks, sorry for the radio silence lately, but I’ve been semi off the grid/dealing with a few family things. How is everyone looking to have their pipe done by the end of the month? Is anybody thinking they’ll need an extra week or so?

Nice haul! Enjoy the billiard, and the Brown Flake.

Ok let's try this Does anybody know a person who purchased or smokes a $ 10,000+ pipe Who are they what's the back ground with pipes or is it they are insanely wealthy? I think it might be difficult to get a direct answer on this. Some collectors are open about what they own and buy. Some not so mu...

If you learned it from this forum, then it's public knowledge and there is no harm in sharing it. If you learned it from another pipe maker while in their shop or on the phone with them and it had the feeling of a private conversation, then I would be more cautious about sharing. When trade secrets ...
