Re: Stain review - Minwax water based stain
I would not suggest to use minwax stains. Try a powder analine die that dissolves in water or alcohol or Fiebing's (Which is good to go as is).

Re: A Christmas Pipe and a Question if I may?
You could also just sand the chamber. The stain should only be on the surface of the chamber and a few swipes with 220 + 400 should be enough to remove it. The stain that is in the capillaries is dry and should not show up after the sanding. I've never run into this so I can't speak by experience h...

Re: A brief procedure on the use of delrin tenons
I have been using the score and epoxy method to attach the delrin tenon to the stem, but I have recently viewed another pipemaker that is threading the connection.

It is usually cause some will have machine marks in them, but I have noticed some have not been the correct size. I would suggest drilling at a little under 5/16 a...

Hello Friends, I wanted to share some information with everyone and in particular those that are new to the craft. I have come across many pipes from new pipemakers in the past few years, and the connection sometimes will become loose. There are many reasons that may cause this to happen, but there ...
