I hope to have the pipe sanded to 1000g by the weekend and ready to stain.

Thanks again for the stain!

Thanks also for the bowl of tobacco.
I will try that when i get a chance!

I am really looking forward to fisnishing the 3 pipes!

I am in mishawaka Indiana.

I need enought for 2 pipes.

I don't want to but a whole lot because I don't need a full tin just sitting around.

if any one can help thank you.

I can do paypal or MO

its smokes great for me carving it!!! I love working on the pipes and Really understand what a lot of you put into one pipe. its also shows me that you really need to find the right tools to get a pipe to look like you want it to. sadly so far I don't but its gives me something to work at in the fut...

yes I do.
I have been working at my granfathers work shop.
I hope to get enought tools to work from my house in the future.

Well I finished my first 3 pipes. They don't look the greatest but its been a blast and I need to get some better tools and work from there. here they are. the pics are not the greatest also. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/sgresso/Picture076.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/sgres...

Well I am working on my 3'rd pipe today and I was thinking about a stain. So far I can't find any quality places with the analine dyes and have not had a chance to order any yet. But I do like the color and taste of my unflavored snuff so my experiment is using denatured alcohol and some powered snu...

Thanks guys.

I thought i was just losing my mind when I could not find them.

Well i tried to find the parts today for one at home depot to no success.

Any one have a parts list or have one that you can sell?
any one want to help me would be appreciated.
I also can paypal the $ for the parts if you have a extra.

I am going to build a tool like tyler showed.

When i use it how hard do you press and do you have to twist it to remove the briar?

How sharp does the nails have to be?

sorry for all the silly questions.

How hard do you press when you rusticate?

I don't want to crack the bowl.
the next one I want to make the tool you guys posted with the nails.

How sharp do you want the nails?
do you glue them in the pipe fittings?

When you rusticate how smooth do you sand before you start?

Sweet!
Thanks I think i got some good idea's now.

I also tried to use a small hole saw tonight.
That seem to work well and I think when i get something like you have in the pics I will be set!


thanks for all the help and my first pipe is coming together!

I have learned so much on this one!!!

Can any one email me ow to make that hand rustication tool?
I tried to look on tyler site but it won't load up for me?

Thanks

I think i have read do many threads here in the last week!

tons of great advice and I learned so much yesterday working on my first pipe.

Thanks for the help so far i realy do appreciate it! I was thinking on my next pipe to make it a permanate extention and have the bit sticking out of the meer part. it would be flush up to the shank and have the bit out of the smaller end. I will try to find a pic of one online so I can give a examp...

No i don't

All i was asking was if i need to set it flush with the shank and not use any type of glue. Or no i need to add epoxy and what type?

Sorry about that.
I was asking if I just set it flush with the pipe shank or do i need to add some epoxy?

what type of epoxy would i need?

I have a Meer Cigar holder i picked up a few years ago. I am thinking of adding it to a pipe in the future. What is the best way to connect it to the pipe. Do I shape the Shank so that the extenction fits flush to it so that its tight? do I add some type of glue? just trying to get some ideas for th...

Thanks that just what i needed!
