It was great to see Scottie's name turn up in my Oom Paul podcast feed! Great interview and good to match a voice to the personality we know so well.

I like that contrast! How did you go about doing it?

I haven't formulated my own opinion yet, but I have a couple of things I could add. There's a large possibility it would hinder rather than help though! Firstly, before you can begin to answer the question "are you an artist?", you have to define what 'art' is. That turns the conversation ...

31 views and no response? Well, coming from a chap who is a pipe smoker and is yet to actually complete his first pipe - take my R0.02 for whatever it's worth! I reckon you have an extra couple of mm to play with there. As long as you leave 3 or 4mm between the base and the chamber the worst that ca...

I've done the same for my pipe cabinet. 2mm thick 20mm diameter rare earth discs in the shelfs and 10mm ball magnets in the pipes themselves. Works like a charm, but a 3mm disc might be slightly better as some of the bigger pipes could use some more grip. Oh cool, thank you for the information! It'...

I'll buy some and hopefully it'll work out. I was hoping not to have to buy a bunch and try them out 'cause I'm a student with no money! But thankfully they're not actually that expensive on Amazon. I don't have any pointy pipes at the moment and I think by the time I do I'll have to make another mu...

Thanks Chas. I wasn't sure if rare earth would be too strong or if something cheaper would suffice. My plan before the magnet idea was to use a forstner bit to make a 2 or 3mm nest for each pipe in the base of the rack. If I went a bit deeper (the base is 10mm thick) I could epoxy in the magnet and ...

Hi chaps, So I was given a couple small lengths of mahogany by a friend and peer of mine at the Boat Building Academy and I've decided to make a little 5 unit pipe rack out of it. Since then I read the thread on the subject of the running pipe preparations and Micah suggested the stand could use mag...

I've never heard of this PayPal reader thing before, but surely if you're paying stranger using this method it poses a huge security risk?
Would a customer have to use their log in details on your PayPal device?

I can testify to that.

Nearly lost a finger on a couple of occasions.

...If you decide to band your best option would be to send it out. There's no reason for you, a pipe maker, to mess with repair-style banding often enough to make it worth your while.

But who should he send it to?!

That's really special. Thanks for sharing

Is epoxy a safe adhesive to use in pipes?

Welcome Salty! Looking forward to seeing what you've been making

I do want critique but from what you wrote its more towards a insult or bigotry. No wonder some new pipe makers and some veterans do not post there work onto this forum you make them either hide or run. II understand that critique can be painful and feel like a personal attack- I have felt the same...

That time might come sooner than you imagine

It's a rustication- if you do a forum search on it, you'll come up with a wealth of info- in general it's a carved texture. The manner of the carving makes all the difference. Ah! I knew it probably fell under rustication, but I thought it might have a more specific name. It's good to know I can ca...

Newbie pipe maker here with a question; what's that finish called and how did you make it? I've seen it around, but I wouldn't know how to go about it.

May I ask if that's a permanent move? are you doing missions work there? Very inspiring threads you have been posting! Cheers, Matt Yeah, my wife and I are missionaries here. We are working to translate the Bible to hope one day to be able to turn things over to the Hewa people...so not permanent, ...
