Pipe #3 progress pics *Meerschaum*

Well I finally got my block in from Turkey :) Obviously it's it's against the law their to send out raw material so he just made a kit for me.

Re: Sanding question

Now that I have a proper lathe :), I am getting all my stuff together! I am buying the arbors and buffing wheels from PIMO but I still need a sanding set up. I really like the one at Tyler's shop, it's a padded (foam) 6" disk I believe with velcro attached sanding sheets. I am getting a jacobs...

How many pipes have you screwed up?

Well I got some more briar kits in since I don't have my lathe yet (that will be fixed tomorrow) and I decided to make another poker because I still haven't fixed the problems I was doing on the previous two. I also was going to make a volcano. The beginning stages of the volcano started well but I ...

Re: Please list in level of importance

Great topic :) I think for me personally, I will take the middle ground. Find a good used wood lathe OR fix the one I got OR buy a new one. Either way, get a good working wood lathe for drilling, turning and sanding purposes. Other than that, after getting it tooled up I would buy w/e I needed to ma...

Re: the Blowfish is done
